Weak hadiths have been reported regarding wiping the face with the hands after supplication outside of prayer, but Ibn Hajar indicated that their collective strength elevates them to the level of hasan (good). As for wiping the face and body after the Qunut supplication, no marfu' ( مرفوع - elevated, i.e., traced back to the Prophet) text has been reported concerning it, and some scholars, like Al-Izz ibn Abd al-Salam, have prohibited it.
