Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
It is understood from the hadith that the Witr prayer is obligatory some time before the Farewell Hajj. From then on, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) raised his hand after reciting the third rak'ah of the Witr prayer. So it has been going on since the time of Huzur. In the third rak'ah of the Witr prayer, Allah has raised His hand. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. We were not asked to know. So time cannot be wasted for this. It is enough to understand that the hand is raised to differentiate between Qira'at and Du'a. 3955251924
