Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ أَنَّ أَنَسًا حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ وَقَالَ يَحْيَى مَرَّةً مِنْ الدُّعَاءِ إِلَّا فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ إِبِطَيْهِ.
English Translation
Yahya told us, Ibn Abi Arubah told us, from Qatadah, that Anas told them: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, would not raise his hands in any of his supplications — Yahya said once: "in supplication" — except in the prayer for rain, for he would raise his hands until the whiteness of his armpits could be seen.
