Raising the Hands in Supplication and the Hadith of Anas Regarding the Prayer for Rain

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: The hadith of Anas states that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
The Prophet (ﷺ) would not raise his hands in any of his supplications except when praying for rain (Al-Istisqaلا يرفع يديه في شيء من دعائه إلا في الاستسقاء
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1748Sahih (Darussalam)
,

Answer:
would not exaggerate in raising his hands, otherwise it is established in other hadiths that he used to raise his hands in supplications, but he did not exaggerate in raising them as he did in the prayer for rain; he would raise them until the whiteness of his armpits was visible, (peace and blessings be upon him).
