Verily, your Lord is Bashful and Munificent. He is too Bashful of His slave to let him go empty-handed when raising his hands to Him

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) encourages raising the hands during supplication and informed that Allah Almighty is (Bashful), possessing great bashfulness, and does not withhold giving. He does for the slave what brings him joy and refrains from what harms him. (Munificent) as He gives without being asked, so how much more after being asked! He feels bashful of His believing slave to return his hands empty of His answer and disappointed after they have been raised in supplication.

Benefits

• The more one shows his need for Allah Almighty and worships Him, the more likely it is to have his supplication answered.
• Encouraging supplication and pointing out that it is recommended to raise the hands while supplicating, as this is one of the causes for the supplication to be answered.
• Clarifying the extensive bounty and mercy of Allah towards His slaves.
