The Prophet ﷺ used to make supplication for rain in this manner. he spread his hands keeping the inner side (of hands) towards the earth, so I witnessed the whiteness of his armpits. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1171)

البيهقي:٦٤٤٧ – وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ أنبأ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَا ثنا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَسْقَى فَقَالَ هَكَذَا وَمَدَّ يَدَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ بُطُونَهُمَا مِمَّا يَلِي الْأَرْضَ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ زَادَ عَلِيٌّ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ
