(حديث مرفوع) 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 مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ إِلَّا فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ إِبِطَيْهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not raise his hands in any supplication, except at the time of Istisqa (prayer for rain), when he (peace and blessings be upon him) would raise his hands so high that the whiteness of his blessed armpits would become visible.
