Abu Dawoud:
” I heard Imaam Ahmad being questioned about someone wiping his face with his two hands when he finished (Du’aa Qunoot) in Witr. He answered: “I have not heard anything about that!”… I have not seen Imaam Ahmad doing it.”
(KITAAB-UL-WITR PG 236)
Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Swaalih Al-Uthaymiin:
“What is closer to the truth is that it is not Sunnah, because all the ahaadith mentioned about that, are weak. ”
