Did Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) Raise His Hands for Dua After Namaz?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I want to ask some questions regarding prayers after namaz:

  1. Is there any proof that Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) did dua with raising hands right after the Faraz Namaz individually? If yes then please tell some reference
  2. Is there any proof that Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) did dua with raising hands right after the Faraz Namaz along with Sabahas Collectively? if yes then please tell some reference
  3. Is there any proof that Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) did dua with raising hands right after the Faraz Namaz  along with Sabahas Collectively and Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) did dua loudly and sahabas said ameen only as usualy we follow this practise in hanafis mosques these days? if yes then please tell some reference 

Bismillaah

A:

  1. It is masnoon to make dua after the fardh salaah and it is amongst the etiquettes of dua that the hands be raised.
  2. The dua after salaah is masnoon and the dua becomes a collective dua not because dua after salaah should be done collectively but, because making dua at such a time is masnoon. This is similar to the dua after the azaan which is masnoon and all that listen to the azaan make dua at the same time. Hence the dua is done collectively but unintentionally.
  3. We have not come across any hadeeth where the dua was done in this manner after the salaah.

عن أبي هريرة: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رفع يده بعدما سلم، وهو مستقبل القبلة فقال: اللهم خلص الوليد بن الوليد، وعياش بن أبي ربيعة، وسَلَمة بن هشام، وضعفة المسلمين الذين لا يستطيعون حيلة ولا يهتدون سبيلا من أيدي الكفار … عن أبي هريرة؛ أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يدعو في دُبُرِ صلاة الظهر: اللهم خَلِّص الوليد (تفسير ابن كثير 1/ 542)

حدثنا محمد بن يحي قال رأيت عبد الله بن الزبير ورأي رجلا رافعا يديه يدعو قبل ان يفرغ من صلاته فلما فرغ منها قال له: ان رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم لم يكن يرفع يديه حتي يفرغ من صلاته . اخرجه ابن ابي شيبة ورجاله ثقات … يفهم منه انه صلي الله عليه وسلم كان يرفع يديه اذا فرغ من صلاته ، فثبت دعاؤه صلي الله عليه وسلم بعد السلام من الصلاة رافعا يديه . (اعلاء السنن 3/ 196) . وقال الهيثمي: رواه الطبراني وترجم له فقال : محمد بن أبي يحيى الأسلمي عن عبد الله بن الزبير ورجاله ثقات (مجمع الزوائد رقم 17345)
