[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, whenever he saw a flash of lightning from the horizons of the sky, he would leave his work, even if he was in the middle of his prayer. Then he would say, 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil it contains. If You remove it, praise be to Allah, and if it continues, he would say, 'O Allah, send down beneficial rain.'"  

أحمد:٢٥٥٧٠ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى نَاشِئًا مِنْ أُفُقٍ مِنْ آفَاقِ السَّمَاءِ تَرَكَ عَمَلَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ فَإِنْ كَشَفَهُ اللهُ حَمِدَ اللهَ وَإِنْ مَطَرَتْ قَالَ اللهُمَّ صَيِّبًا نَافِعًا

And if Allah dispelled it and it did not rain, he would praise Allah for that.
