adab:722Ibn Abbas (ra) made this supplication when he heard a cloud burst:

“Glory be to him whom you glorified.” He said that the thunderclap is an angel who yells at the rainclouds as a shepherd yells at his sheep/goats.  

الأدب المفرد:٧٢٢حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَ إِذَا

سَمِعَ صَوْتَ الرَّعْدِ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَبَّحْتَ لَهُ قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّعْدَ مَلَكٌ يَنْعِقُ بِالْغَيْثِ كَمَا يَنْعِقُ الرَّاعِي بِغَنَمِهِ
