It is narrated on the authority of Anas bin Mālik (may Allāh be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allāh (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Three supplications are not rejected: The supplication of a parent, the supplication of a fasting person, and the supplication of a traveler.”
Abū 'Abdillāh al-Ḥāfiẓ informed us, Abū 'Abdillāh Muḥammad ibn 'Abdillāh as-Ṣaffār az-Zāhid narrated to us dictating from his book, he said: Abū Ismā'īl Muḥammad ibn Ismā'īl as-Sulamī said: I prayed behind Abī an-Nu'mān Muḥammad ibn Faḍl, he raised his hands when he started the prayer, when he bowed and when he raised his head from rukū' (bowing), so I asked him about that, so he replied: I prayed behind Ḥammād ibn Zayd who raised his hands when he started the prayer, when he bowed and when he raised his head from rukū', so I asked him about that, so he replied: I prayed behind Ayyūb as-Sakhtiyānī and he used to raise his hands when he started the prayer, when he bowed and when he raised his head from rukū', so I asked him (about it) and he replied: I saw 'Aṭā' ibn Abī Rabāḥ raising his hands when he started the prayer, when he bowed and when he raised his head from rukū', so I asked him (about it) and he replied: I prayed behind 'Abdillāh ibn az-Zubayr and he used to raise his hands when he started the prayer, when he bowed and when he raised his head from rukū', so I asked him (about it) and 'Abdullāh ibn az-Zubayr he replied: I prayed behind Abī Bakr aṣ-Ṣiddīq (may Allāh be pleased with him) (who) raised his hands when he started the prayer, when he bowed and when he raised his head from ar rukū' and Abū Bakr said: I prayed behind the messenger of Allāh (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) and he used to raise his hands when he started the prayer, when he bowed and when he raised his head from rukū'.
