Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي الدُّعَاءِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ إِبِطَيْهِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ.
English Translation
Sulayman ibn Dawud told us, Shu'bah informed us, from Thabit, who heard Anas say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would raise his hands in supplication until the whiteness of his armpits could be seen. I mentioned that to Ali ibn Zayd, and he said: That was only during the prayer for rain. I said: Did you hear that from Anas? He said: Glory be to Allah! I said: Did you hear it from him? He said: Glory be to Allah!
