When the Prophet ﷺ prostrated, he used to keep his arms so widely apart that we used to see his armpits. (The sub-narrator, Ibn Bukair said, "The whiteness of his armpits.")  

البخاري:٣٥٦٤حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ابْنِ بُحَيْنَةَ الأَسْدِيِّ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا سَجَدَ فَرَّجَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى نَرَى إِبْطَيْهِ قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ

ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمُصَلِّي أَنْ يُجَافِيَ فِي سُجُودِهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ إِبْطَيْهِ

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his hands and spread them in front of him during prostration until the whiteness of his armpits was visible."  

ابن حبّان:١٩١٩أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَسْكَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ النَّضْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنِ ابْنِ بُحَيْنَةَ قَالَ

«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا سَجَدَ فَرَّجَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ بَيَاضُ إِبْطَيْهِ»
