Shalom Aleikhom.
Provided that it is true that evidence exists that the prophet used to raise his hands at times, and at other times the prophet never raised his hands, I would have to take it that both are ok. If both are ok, then I think it depends on the person who is doing it to decide if she/he wants to do it or not.
Walikom Assalam.
This is what I think of, if Mohammad s.a.w had practiced that for some time, why not me? just sometimes. I wanted to go both ways BUT I can't, as I am a Hanafi. In your lingo, a blind follower. Changing Madhab is a great pact, needs thorough study and mercy of Allah except which none can walk in light. I cannot switch on to rehearsals that go against to my Madhhab. It would be an incarnate lie. only if I change it, but one need to be scholarly enough. May Allah show us the right of paths.ameen.

Regarding "who" to follow , every other person you ask may answer with a different and contradictory answer. This is a direct result of divisions made by people in the deen. Or is anyone telling you to follow Mr. X/Mr. Y top to bottom because he she is more "knowledgeable" ? If you yourself dont have the knowledge, how do you know that the person is "knowledgeable" ? Do they not have scholars who study Christiany/Judaism/Hinduism for life but still invite people to the wrong path ?
Yes, I myself have no knowledge about my Madhhab but Alhamdolillah I am, from what I read and observe, more than thankful to Allah that I am not a sectarian. I am just a simple Muslim. These are the different schools of thought and not sects .

"And the example of those who disbelieve is like one who repeats what he has heard of calls and cries; deaf, dumb, and blind, they do not comprehend." [Qur'an 2:171]
"And do not uphold what you have no knowledge of. For the hearing, eyesight, and heart, all these you are responsible for." [Qur'an 17:36]
There are many questions which I can't abjure just by saying I am a Hanafi. I need to study to fix my mind, which way I need to move Insha Allah and to answer these queries regarding. It makes no difference, I believe in Allah and Prophet s.a.w. The ultimate goal is one, we are to please our lord with our deeds and nothing more than that.

Ask God for guidance and carry on with your striving for the sake of Allah, inshallah, you will walk in his straight path.
okay, Insha Allah. Brother for yor advice.
