Question:
Is there any proof from the Sunnah about wiping the face after making supplication?

As for the raising of the hands during the supplication, then there are many authentic ahaadeeth which have come relating to that, and as for the wiping of the face; then there are two hadeeth pertaining to it, but neither of them establishes clear proof for it.
