Sahih
وَقَالَ الأُوَيْسِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، وَشَرِيكٍ، سَمِعَا أَنَسًا، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ‏.‏
The narrator Anas added that the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his hands (during the invocation) to such an extent that the whiteness of his armpits was visible.
