حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اسْتَسْقَى فَقَلَبَ رِدَاءَهُ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم offered the Istisqâ ' prayer and turned his cloak inside out ( Istisqâ ', i.e. to offer a two Rak'a prayer and then to invoke Allâh for rain). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 124, Vol. 2).
9/1. Chapter:
حديث أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ إِلَاّ فِي الاِسْتِسْقَاءِ، وَإِنَّهُ يَرْفَعُ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ إِبْطَيْهِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم never raised his hands for any invocation except for that of Istisqâ '; and he used to raise them so much that the whiteness of his armpits became visible. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 141, Vol. 2).
9/2. Chapter:
حديث أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: أَصَابَتِ النَّاسَ سَنَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَبَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ، قَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكَ الْمَالُ، وَجَاعَ الْعِيَالُ، فَادْعُ اللهَ لَنَا فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّماءِ قَزَعَةً، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا وَضَعَهَا حَتَّى ثَارَ السَّحَابُ أَمْثَالَ الْجِبَالِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ عَنْ مِنْبَرِهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الْمَطَرَ يَتَحَادَرُ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ ﷺ، فَمُطِرْنَا يَوْمَنَا ذلِكَ، وَمِنَ الْغَدِ، وَبَعْدَ الْغَدِ، وَالَّذِي يَلِيهِ، حَتَّى الْجُمُعَةِ الأُخْرَى فَقَامَ ذلِكَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ، أَوْ قَالَ غَيْرُهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ⦗١٧٤⦘ تَهَدَّمَ الْبِنَاءُ، وَغَرِقَ الْمَالُ، فَادْعُ اللهَ لَنَا فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا فَمَا يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ السَّحَابِ إِلَاّ انْفَرَجَتْ وَصَارَتِ الْمَدينَةُ مِثْلَ الْجَوْبَةِ، وَسَالَ الْوَادِي قَنَاةُ شَهْرًا، وَلَمْ يَجِىءْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ إِلَاّ حَدَّثَ بِالْجَوْدِ.
Once, in the lifetime of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, the people were afflicted with drought. While the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was delivering the Khutba (religious talk) on a Friday, a bedouin stood up and said, "O Allâh's Messenger! Our possessions are being destroyed and the children are hungry; please invoke Allâh (for rain)". So the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم raised his hands (invoked Allâh for rain).At that time there was not a trace of cloud in the sky. By Him, in Whose Hands my soul is, as soon as he lowered his hands, clouds gathered like mountains, and before he got down from the pulpit, I saw the rain falling on the beard of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It rained that day, the next day, the third day, the fourth day till the next Friday.The same bedouin or another man stood up and said, "O, Allâh's Messenger! The houses have collapsed, our possessions and livestock have been drowned; please invoke Allâh for us (to stop the rain).” So the Prophet ﷺ raised both his hands and said, “O Allâh! Round about us and not on us.” So, in whatever direction he pointed with his hands, the clouds dispersed and cleared away, and Al-Madîna’s (sky) became clear as a hole in between the clouds. The valley of Qanât remained flooded and went on flowing for one month, none came from outside but talked about the abundant rain.( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 55, Vol. 2)
9/3. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، إِذَا رَأَى مَخِيلَةً فِي السَّمَاءِ أَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ، وَدَخَلَ وَخَرَجَ، وَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ فَإِذَا أَمْطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ، فَعَرَّفَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ ذلِكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: مَا أَدْرِي، لَعَلَّهُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمٌ (فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ) الآية.
‘Aîsha رضى الله عنها said, “Whenever the Prophet ﷺ saw a cloud in the sky, he would walk to and fro in agitation, go out and come in, and the colour of his face would change, and if it rained, he would feel relaxed.” So ‘Aîsha knew that state of his.The Prophet ﷺ said, “I don’t know (am afraid), it may be similar to what happened to some people referred to in the Qur’ân in the following Verse:Then, when they saw it as a dense cloud coming towards their valleys, they said: ‘This is a cloud bringing us rain!’ Nay but it is that (torment) which you were asking to be hastened! — a wind wherein is a painful torment.” (V.46:24)( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 428, Vol. 4)
9/4. Chapter:
حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، قَالَ: نُصِرْتُ بِالصَّبَا وَأُهْلِكَتْ عَادٌ بِالدَّبُورِ.
The Prophet ﷺ said, “I was granted victory with As-Saba and the nation of ‘Ad was destroyed by Ad-Dabûr (westerly wind). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 145, Vol. 2)
