حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ الْمَسْأَلَةُ أَنْ تَرْفَعَ يَدَيْکَ حَذْوَ مَنْکِبَيْکَ أَوْ نَحْوَهُمَا وَالِاسْتِغْفَارُ أَنْ تُشِيرَ بِأُصْبُعٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَالِابْتِهَالُ أَنْ تَمُدَّ يَدَيْکَ جَمِيعًا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1489
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Ikrimah quoted Ibn Abbas as saying: When asking for something you should raise your hands opposite to your shoulders; when asking for forgiveness you should point with one finger; and when making an earnest supplication you should spread out both your hands.
