And this is the supplication,' and he raised his hands, level with his shoulders. And this is the pleading, and he raised his hands further up."  

البيهقي:٢٧٩٦ – وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ هَكَذَا الْإِخْلَاصُ يُشِيرُ بِأُصْبُعِهِ الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ وَهَذَا الدُّعَاءُ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَهَذَا الِابْتِهَالُ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ مَدًّا
