8. Ṣalāh for Rain (Istisqāʾ)
٨۔ كِتَابُ صَلَاةِ الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I was aided by the wind of As-Saba, and 'Ad (tribe) was destroyed by Ad-Daboor."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نُصِرْتُ بِالصَّبَا وَأُهْلِكَتْ عَادٌ بِالدَّبُورِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I was granted victory through the wind, and 'Ad were destroyed by the Dabur."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نُصِرْتُ بِالصَّبَا وَأُهْلِكَتْ عَادٌ بِالدَّبُورِ
[Machine] God sends the wind, which carries the water from the sky, passing through the clouds until it condenses like a grain of pollen. Then it is sent down from the sky like the Azali bird, and the winds scatter it.
يَبْعَثُ اللهُ الرِّيحَ فَتَحْمِلُ الْمَاءَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتَمُرُّ فِي السَّحَابِ حَتَّى تَدُرَّ كَمَا تَدُرُّ اللِّقْحَةُ ثُمَّ تُبْعَثُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَمْثَالَ الْعَزَالِي فَتُصَرُّ بِهِ الرِّيَاحُ؛ فَيَنْزِلُ مُتَفَرِّقًا
[Machine] Indeed, Allah sends the wind which carries the water from the sky. Then it passes through the clouds until it condenses like a seed and then it rains.
إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ فَتَحْمِلُ الْمَاءَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ؛ فَتَمُرَّ فِي السَّحَابِ حَتَّى تَدُرَّ كَمَا تَدُرَّ اللِّقْحَةُ ثُمَّ تُمْطِرُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Never does a gust of wind blow from the south, but it brings glad tidings of rain." Ash-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "This means that Allah created it (the gust) to bring good news of rain before His mercy."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا هَبَّتْ جَنُوبٌ إِلَّا أَسَالَتْ وَادِيًا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ يَعْنِي أَنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَهَا تَهُبُّ بُشْرَى بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ مِنَ الْمَطَرِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed, Allah created in Paradise a wind after the wind, with a closed door, and the soul comes to you through that door. If that door were to be opened, it would overturn everything between the heavens and the earth, and it is near to Allah as lightning, and it is near to you as the south."
النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ خَلَقَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ رِيحًا بَعْدَ الرِّيحِ بِسَبْعِ سِنِينَ مِنْ دُونِهَا بَابٌ مُغْلَقٌ وَإِنَّمَا تَأْتِيكُمُ الرُّوحُ مِنْ خَلَالِ ذَلِكَ الْبَابِ وَلَوْ فُتِحَ ذَلِكَ الْبَابُ لَأَدَرَّتْ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَهِيَ عِنْدَ اللهِ الْأَزْيَبُ وَهِيَ عِنْدَكُمُ الْجَنُوبُ
[Machine] When the wind became strong, he would say, "O Allah, let it be a fertile wind, not barren."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا اشْتَدَّتِ الرِّيحُ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ لَقَحًا وَلَا عَقِيمًا
