I mentioned this to Ali ibn Zaid and he said, "That is only in the dua for rain." I asked, "Did you hear it from Anas?" He said, "Exalted is Allah." I asked, "Did you hear it from him?" He said, "Exalted is Allah."

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي الدُّعَاءِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ إِبِطَيْهِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ أَنَسٍ؟ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ
