1486. It was reported from Abū Zabyah, that Abū Bahriyyah As-Sakūnī narrated to him from Mālik bin Yasār As-Sakūnī, then Al-'Awfī, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When you ask (supplicate) Allāh, ask Him with the palms of your hands, and do not ask Him with the backs of your hands.” (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: Sulaimān bin ‘Abdul-Ḥamīd said:[1] “He was a companion of ours.” Meaning Mālik bin Yasār.
1486 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْبَهْرَانِيُّ، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُهُ فِي أَصْلِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْضَمٌ، عَنْ شُرَيْحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ظَبْيَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَحْرِيَّةَ السَّكُونِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ السَّكُونِيِّ ثُمَّ الْعَوْفِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَاسْأَلُوهُ بِبُطُونِ أَكُفِّكُمْ، وَلَا تَسْأَلُوهُ بِظُهُورِهَا»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ: «لَهُ عِنْدَنَا صُحْبَةٌ - يَعْنِي مَالِكَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ»

Normally, during a supplication, one turns the palms of the hands up but, during the prayer for rain, one should turn the palms down, keeping the backs of palms up, as did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ according to the authentic Hadīths.
