Hazrat Humaid narrates that Hazrat Anas was asked: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raise his hands, that is, in supplication? He replied: Yes! People complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Jumu'ah. They said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The rain has stopped, the land has dried up, and the livestock have perished. Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands so high that I saw the whiteness of his armpits.
