Messenger of Allah ﷺ I was delivering the Khutba (sermon) on a Friday when the people stood up, shouted and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! There is no rain (drought), the trees have dried and the livestock are destroyed; Please pray to Allah for rain." So Messenger of Allah ﷺ said twice, "O Allah! Bless us with rain." By Allah, there was no trace of cloud in the sky and suddenly the sky became overcast with clouds and it started raining. The Prophet ﷺ came down the pulpit and offered the prayer. When he came back from the prayer (to his house) it was raining and it rained continuously till the next Friday. When the Prophet started delivering the Friday Khutba (sermon), the people started shouting and said to him, "The houses have collapsed and the roads are cut off; so please pray to Allah to withhold the rain." So the Prophet ﷺ smiled and said, "O Allah! Round about us and not on us." So the sky became clear over Medina but it kept on raining over the outskirts (of Medina) and not a single drop of rain fell over Median. I looked towards the sky which was as bright and clear as a crown. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1021)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَامَ النَّاسُ فَصَاحُوا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَحَطَ الْمَطَرُ وَاحْمَرَّ الشَّجَرُ وَهَلَكَتِ الْبَهَائِمُ فَادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَسْقِيَنَا فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ اسْقِنَا اللهُمَّ اسْقِنَا قَالَ وَايْمُ اللهِ مَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ قَزَعَةً مِنْ سَحَابٍ فَأَنْشَأَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَانْتَشَرَتْ ثُمَّ أَمْطَرَتْ وَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى وَانْصَرَفَ فَلَمْ تَزَلْ تُمْطِرُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى فَلَمَّا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ صَاحُوا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ وَانْقَطَعَتِ السُّبُلُ فَادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَحْبِسَهَا عَنَّا فَتَبَسَّمَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا فَتَقَشَّعَتْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَجَعَلَتْ تُمْطِرُ حَوْلَهَا وَمَا تُمْطِرُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَطْرَةً فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ كَأَنَّهَا لَفِي مِثْلِ الْإِكْلِيلِ  

[Machine] A man complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the depletion of his wealth and the hardship of his family. He said: "So Allah supplicated for him, and he was given water to drink. But he did not mention that he had shifted his garment or faced the qiblah (direction of prayer)."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا اشْتَكَى إِلَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلَاكَ الْمَالِ وَجَهْدَ الْعِيَالِ؛ قَالَ فَدَعَا اللهَ فَسُقِيَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَنَّهُ حَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ وَلَا اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was informed that Abu Lubabah said to the sky: "Stretch your hand to attract the locusts to the hypocrite's palm tree." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "O Allah, send them until Abu Lubabah blocks the entrance of his palm tree with his cloak." So Allah sent rain, and when the flood reached Abu Lubabah's palm tree and he was in his cloak, he had to use it to block the entrance of the palm tree against the flood.  

أَنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُخْبِرَ أَنَّ أَبَا لُبَابَةَ يَقُولُ لِلسَّمَاءِ أَمِدِّي يَدْعُو بِالْجَدْبِ لِنَفَاقِ ثَمَرَةِ نَخْلِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُمَّ أَرْسِلْهَا حَتَّى يَسُدَّ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ ثَعْلَبَ مِرْبَدِهِ بِرِدَائِهِ فَأَرْسَلَ اللهُ السَّمَاءَ فَلَمَّا صَارَ السَّيْلُ بِثَمَرِ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ وَهُوَ فِي الْمِرْبَدِ اضْطُرَّ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ إِلَى إِزَارِهِ فَسَدَّ بِهِ ثَعْلَبَ الْمِرْبَدِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for rain on a Friday and said, "O Allah, send down rain upon us, O Allah, send down rain upon us." Abu Lubaba stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, there are dates in the storage containers." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "And are there clouds in the sky that we can see?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah, send down rain upon us until Abu Lubaba stands up naked, covering his furrow with his clothes." Then the sky began to rain and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with us. The Ansar (Muslims of Madinah) then surrounded Abu Lubaba and said to him, "O Abu Lubaba, by Allah, the sky will never stop raining until you stand up naked and cover your furrow with your clothes, as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said." So Abu Lubaba stood up naked and covered his furrow with his clothes. Then the rain stopped.  

اسْتَسْقَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ اسْقِنَا اللهُمَّ اسْقِنَا فَقَامَ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ التَّمْرَ فِي الْمَرَابِدِ قَالَ وَمَا فِي السَّمَاءِ سَحَابٌ نَرَاهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُمَّ اسْقِنَا حَتَّى يَقُومَ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ عُرْيَانًا يَسُدُّ ثَعْلَبَ مِرْبَدِهِ بِإِزَارِهِ قَالَ فَاسْتَهَلَّتِ السَّمَاءُ فَأَمْطَرَتْ وَصَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ثُمَّ طَافَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ بِأَبِي لُبَابَةَ يَقُولُونَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا لُبَابَةَ إِنَّ السَّمَاءَ وَاللهِ لَنْ تُقْلِعَ أَبَدًا حَتَّى تَقُومَ عُرْيَانًا فَتَسُدَّ ثَعْلَبَ مِرْبَدِكَ بِإِزَارِكَ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَقَامَ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ عُرْيَانًا؛ فَسَدَّ ثَعْلَبَ مِرْبَدِهِ بِإِزَارِهِ قَالَ فَأَقْلَعَتِ السَّمَاءُ
