ذِكْرُ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ الْمَرْءُ عِنْدَ اشْتِدَادِ الْأَمْطَارِ، وَكَثْرَةِ دَوَامِهَا بِالنَّاسِ

I heard Anas bin Malik saying, "On a Friday a person entered the main Mosque through the gate facing the pulpit while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was delivering the Khutba. The man stood in front of Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; so please pray to Allah for rain.' " Anas added, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Bless us with rain! O Allah! Bless us with rain! O Allah! Bless us with rain!' " Anas added, "By Allah, we could not see any trace of cloud in the sky and there was no building or a house between us and (the mountains of) Sila." Anas added, "A heavy cloud like a shield appeared from behind it (i.e. Sila' Mountain). When it came in the middle of the sky, it spread and then rained." Anas further said, "By Allah! We could not see the sun for a week. Next Friday a person entered through the same gate and at that time Messenger of Allah ﷺ was delivering the Friday's Khutba. The man stood in front of him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The livestock are dying and the roads are cut off, please pray to Allah to withhold rain.' " Anas added, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ I raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Round about us and not on us. O Allah! On the plateaus, on the mountains, on the hills, in the valleys and on the places where trees grow.' So the rain stopped and we came out walking in the sun." Sharik asked Anas whether it was the same person who had asked for the rain (the last Friday). Anas replied that he did not know.

Anas bin Malik said, "A person entered the Mosque on a Friday through the gate facing the Daril- Qada' and Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing delivering the Khutba (sermon). The man stood in front of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; please pray to Allah for rain.' So Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Bless us with rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain!" Anas added, "By Allah, there were no clouds in the sky and there was no house or building between us and the mountain of Sila'. Then a big cloud like a shield appeared from behind it (i.e. Silas Mountain) and when it came in the middle of the sky, it spread and then rained. By Allah! We could not see the sun for a week. The next Friday, a person entered through the same gate and Messenger of Allah ﷺ was delivering the Friday Khutba and the man stood in front of him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; Please pray to Allah to withhold rain.' " Anas added, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Round about us and not on us. O Allah!' On the plateaus, on the mountains, on the hills, in the valleys and on the places where trees grow.' " Anas added, "The rain stopped and we came out, walking in the sun." Sharik asked Anas whether it was the same person who had asked for rain the previous Friday. Anas replied that he did not know.

Messenger of Allah, the camels died and the passages were blocked; so supplicate Allah to send down rain upon us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and then said: (O Allah, send down rain upon us; O Allah, send dowp rain upon us; O Allah, send down rain upon us. Anas said: By Allah, we did not see any cloud or any patch of it, and there was neither any house or building standing between us and the (hillock) Sal'a. There appeared a cloud in the shape of a shield from behind it, and as it (came high) in the sky it spread and then there was a downpour of rain. By Allah, we did not see the sun throughout the week. Then (that very man) came on the coming Friday through the same door when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing and delivering the sermon. He stood in front of him and said: Messenger of Allah, our animals died and the passages blocked. Supplicate Allah to stop the rain for us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ again raised his hands and said: O Allah, let it (rain) fall in our suburbs and not on us, O Allah (send it down) on the hillocks and small mountains and the river-beds and at places where trees grow. The rain stopped, and as we stepped out we were walking in sun- shine. He (the narrator) said to Sharik: I asked Anas b. Malik if he was the same man. He said: I do not know.

"While we were in the masjid on Friday and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was addressing the people, a man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the routes have been cut off, our wealth has been destroyed and prices have gone up. Pray to Allah (SWT) to give us rain.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands in level with his face and said: 'O Allah, give us rain.' By Allah (SWT), the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had not come down from the minbar before it started to pour with rain, and it rained from that day until the following Friday. Then a man stood up- I do not know if he was the same man who had asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to pray for rain for us or not- and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the routes have been cut off, and our wealth has been destroyed because there is too much water. Pray to Allah (SWT ) to stop the rain for us.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Allah, around us and not on us, rather on the mountains and places where trees grow.' By Allah, hardly had the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoken these words than the clouds split apart (and vanished) until we could not see anything of them.'"

A man entered the masjid when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing and delivering the Khutbah. He turned to face the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, our wealth has been destroyed and the routes have been cut off. Pray to Allah (SWT) to send us rain.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands then said: "O Allah, send us rain." Anas said: "By Allah, we had not seen even a wisp of a cloud in the sky and there were no houses or buildings between us and (the mountain of ) Sal'. Then a cloud like a shield appeared, and when it reached the middle of the sky it spread and it began to rain." Anas said: "By Allah, we did not see the sun for a week. Then a man entered through that door on the following Friday, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing and delivering the Khutbah. He turned to face him standing and said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, may Allah (SWT) send blessings upon you. Our wealth has been destroyed and the routes have been cut off. Pray to Allah (SWT) to withold (the rain) from us.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and said: 'O Allah, around us and not on us.; O Allah, on the hills and mountains, the bottoms of the valleys and where the trees grow.' Then it stopped raining and we went out walking in the sun." Sharik said: 'I asked Anas: 'Was he the same man?' He said: 'No.'"

[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.'"
