8. Ṣalāh for Rain (Istisqāʾ)
٨۔ كِتَابُ صَلَاةِ الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ
[Machine] Isma'il narrated from Abu 'Amr Al-Adib, who narrated from Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili, who narrated from Ja'far Al-Firyaabi, who narrated from Qutaybah bin Sa'id, who narrated from 'Abdul-Aziz bin Muhammad, that Isma'il bin Ja'far narrated from Shurayk bin 'Abdullah bin Abi Namir, who narrated from Anas bin Malik, that Abu 'Amr narrated from Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili, who narrated from Ahmad bin Al-Hasan bin 'Abdul-Jabbar, who narrated from Yahya bin Ayyub, who narrated from Isma'il bin Ja'far, who narrated from Shurayk, who narrated from Anas, that a man entered the mosque on a Friday from a door close to Dar Al-Qada' (the house of justice), while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing delivering his sermon. The man faced the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, wealth has perished and paths have been cut off. Pray to Allah for rain for us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and said, "O Allah, give us rain, O Allah, give us rain, O Allah, give us rain." Anas said, "By Allah, we could not see any trace of clouds in the sky and there was no building or house between us and Sila (a mountain pass) and Tihama (a low-lying plain). Then a cloud came from behind the mountain just like a shield, and when it came halfway, it spread, and then rain fell from it. By Allah, neither before it reached the middle of the sky nor after, did we see any trace of cloud or rain. Then a man entered through that door on the following Friday, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was delivering the sermon. The man faced the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, wealth has perished and paths have been cut off. Pray to Allah to withhold the rain from us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and said, "O Allah, around us and not upon us. O Allah, on the hills, the valleys, the tops of the trees, and in the furrows." Anas said, "I saw the clouds dispersing and we walked in the sunshine." Shurayk said, "I asked Anas, 'Was that the same man?' He replied, 'I do not know.'"

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came forward with a vessel and said, "O Allah, give us rain that saturates, refreshing, plentiful, quick, beneficial, and not harmful." Then, it closed upon them like this. He told us about it in the Book Al-Mustadrak and also told us about it in the great benefits of Abu Al-Abbas. He said in the narration, "The Prophet ﷺ came forward with balances and said, 'Say, O Allah, give us rain 6438.'" Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Muhammad Al-Oshnani narrated to us, Abu Al-Abbas Al-Asamm informed us about it, and he mentioned it and said, "Balances" without saying "Say it like this."
أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَوَاكِي فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثًا مُغِيثًا مَرِيًّا مَرِيعًا عَاجِلًا غَيْرَ آجِلٍ نَافِعًا غَيْرَ ضَارٍّ فَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ هَكَذَا أَخْبَرَنَا بِهِ فِي كِتَابِ الْمُسْتَدْرَكِ وَأَخْبَرَنَا بِهِ فِي الْفَوَائِدِ الْكَبِيرِ لِأَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ فَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ هَوَازِنُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قُولُوا اللهُمَّ اسْقِنَا 6438 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأُشْنَانِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ فَذَكَرَهُ وَقَالَ هَوَازِنُ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ قُولُوا هَكَذَا
[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet of Allah, ﷺ , that he invoked against Mudhar and I went to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed Allah has given you and answered you, and indeed your people have perished, so invoke Allah for them." So he said: "O Allah, give us (rain) a plentiful, mind-clearing, plenitude, swift, beneficial rain that is not harmful." There was not (any) gathering until they were given drink.
حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَعَا عَلَى مُضَرَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَعْطَاكَ وَاسْتَجَابَ لَكَ وَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ قَدْ هَلَكُوا فَادْعُ اللهَ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثًا مُغِيثًا مَرِيًّا مَرِيعًا غَدَقًا طَبَقًا عَاجِلًا غَيْرَ رَائِثٍ نَافِعًا غَيْرَ ضَارٍّ فَمَا كَانَتْ إِلَّا جُمُعَةٌ أَوْ نَحْوَهَا حَتَّى سُقُوا
[Machine] that the Prophet ﷺ used to say when seeking rain: "O Allah, shower your servants and animals with rain, spread your mercy, and revive your dead land." And so [he would say.]
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَسْقَى قَالَ اللهُمَّ اسْقِ عِبَادَكَ وَبَهَائِمَكَ وَانْشُرْ رَحْمَتَكَ وَأَحْيِ بَلَدَكَ الْمَيِّتَ وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] The Prophet, ﷺ , used to say when seeking rain: "O Allah, give us beneficial rain, abundant rain, soft rain, spreading it over your servants, revitalizing the breasts and giving life to the crops." This is narrated in the hadith of Abu Abdullah, and in the hadith of Ibn Al-Harith, it is mentioned that Ya'la bin Al-Ashdaq narrated from Abdullah bin Jarad, who said: "The Prophet, ﷺ , said it and added 'pleasant and abundant'."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَسْقَى قَالَ اللهُمَّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثًا مُغِيثًا مَرِيًّا تَوَسِّعُ بِهِ لِعِبَادِكَ تَغْرِزُ بِهِ الضَّرْعَ وَتُحْيِي بِهِ الزَّرْعَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ وَفِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ ثنا يَعْلَى بْنُ الْأَشْدَقِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَرَادٍ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَهُ وَزَادَ هَنِيئًا مَرِيًّا
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to say during rain: "O Allah! Let it be a beneficial rain, not a harmful one, without destruction, flooding, or submerging. O Allah! (Send rain) around our crops and the root of the trees, not upon us. This is a blessing."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْمَطَرِ اللهُمَّ سُقْيَا رَحْمَةٍ وَلَا سُقْيَا عَذَابٍ وَلَا بَلَاءٍ وَلَا هَدْمٍ وَلَا غَرَقٍ اللهُمَّ عَلَى الظِّرَابِ وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ اللهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ
