Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not use to raise his hands in his invocations except in the Istisqa (i.e. invokingAllah for the rain) in which he used to raise his hands so high that one could see the whiteness of hisarmpits. (Note: It may be that Anas did not see the prophet (as) raising his hands but it has beennarrated that the Prophet (as) used to raise his hands for invocations other than Istisqa.
