Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَسْتَسْقِي هَكَذَا يَعْنِي وَمَدَّ يَدَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ بُطُونَهُمَا مِمَّا يَلِي الأَرْضَ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ .

Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Zaʿfarani narrated to us: ʿAffan narrated to us: Hammad narrated to us: Thabit informed us, from Anas, that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray for rain in this manner—he extended his hands with their palms facing the ground, until I saw the whiteness of his armpits.
