Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَالِكٍ النُّكْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْجَوْزَاءِ أَوْسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ :" قَحَطَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ قَحْطًا شَدِيدًا، فَشَكَوْا إِلَى عَائِشَةَ ، فَقَالَتْ :
انْظُرُوا قَبْرَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاجْعَلُوا مِنْهُ كُوَوًا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ سَقْفٌ، قَالَ : فَفَعَلُوا، فَمُطِرْنَا مَطَرًا حَتَّى نَبَتَ الْعُشْبُ، وَسَمِنَتِ الْإِبِلُ حَتَّى تَفَتَّقَتْ مِنْ الشَّحْمِ، فَسُمِّيَ عَامَ الْفَتْقِ "

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu al-Jawza' Aws ibn Abdullah that he said: 'The people of Madinah were afflicted by a severe drought. They complained to Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). She said: Look at the grave of the Prophet ﷺ and open a window toward the sky so there is no roof between it and the sky. He said: They did so and were given such rain that the vegetation grew and the camels became fat from it — so much so that that year was called the year of abundance.'
