[Machine] Anas said, "I was sitting near the pulpit on the day of Friday prayers, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was giving the sermon when some people from the mosque said, 'O Messenger of Allah, rain has been withheld and our cattle are perishing, so supplicate to Allah for rain to be sent upon us.' Anas said, 'The Prophet ﷺ then raised his hands, and I did not see any clouds in the sky. Suddenly, clouds began to gather and the rain poured down upon us.' Hajjaj (the narrator) said, 'We continued to pray until I saw a man whose appearance and concern showed that he wanted to go to his family. So we were rained upon for a week, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to deliver his sermon on the following Friday when some people from the mosque said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the houses have collapsed and the roads have been cut off due to heavy rain, so supplicate to Allah to remove it from us.' The Prophet ﷺ then raised his hands and said, 'O Allah, let it rain around us, not upon us.' Hajjaj added, 'So the rain above us solidified and it appeared as if there was a crown around us, raining outside but not upon us.'"
