Is the preference in prayer for one who raises his hands according to the Sunnah?

The instances of raising hands in prayer have been detailed previously. Whoever does so in the prescribed instances will be rewarded with a reward that is not attained by one who abandons this Sunnah. The Sunnah is that for which one is rewarded for doing and not punished for abandoning. One should advise and guide those who abandon the sound Sunnah to the importance of following it to obtain the reward.
