I read a hadith extracted from ‘majma-uz-Zawaaid’ vol.1, pg. 169, narrated by Abdullaah Ibn Zubayr radhi Allaahu ‘anhu. Please let me know what is shari’ah’s ruling?

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu
Making Du’a after Salaat is established in the Hadith. Since it is
established to make Du’a, it can be made collectively or individually. Both
are permissible. However, to regard it as necessary or compulsory is
incorrect. To lift up the hands during Du’aa, to pass the hands over the
face after Du’aa is also established from Hadith. (Durrul Munthoor, Sharah
Abu Dawud)
