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