question #1 Sahih Muslim 895c, Book 9, Hadith 7 : In what specific situation did the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) raise his hands during supplication?

Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was not accustomed to raice his hands in any supplication he made except when praying for rain. (He would then raise [his hands] high enough) that the whiteness of his armpits became visible. ‘Abd al-A’la said that (he was in doubt whether it was) the whiteness of his armpit or armpits.
