1181. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'When you call upon Allâh, then do so with the palms of your hands (upwards). Do not do so with the back of your hands (upwards). And when you finish, then wipe your face with them.''" (Da'if)

Arabic text

1181 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَائِذُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا دَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ فَادْعُ بِبَاطِنِ كَفَّيْكَ، وَلَا تَدْعُ بِظُهُورِهِمَا، فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَامْسَحْ بِهِمَا وَجْهَكَ»

Commentary

The Hadith is 'Weak'. As such it does not establish any proof in support of the wiping of face with the hands, either after this supplication, or after the Qunut of Witr.
