Anas b. Malik reported that a person entered the mosque through the door
situated on theside of Daral-Qada' during Friday (prayer) and the
messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was delivering the sermon while standing. He came
and stood in front of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said:
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.
