Hadith #239
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ وَبَهْزٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَسْقِ اللَّهَ لَنَا قَالَ فَاسْتَسْقَى وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ
قَزَعَةً قَالَ فَأُمْطِرْنَا فَمَا جَعَلَتْ تُقْلِعُ فَلَمَّا أَتَتْ الْجُمُعَةُ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا عَنَّا قَالَ فَدَعَا فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى السَّحَابِ يُسْفِرُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا وَلَا يُمْطِرُ مِنْ جَوْفِهَا قَطْرَةً

English Translation
'Affan and Bahz narrated to us, they said: Hammam narrated to us, Qatadah narrated to us, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was on the minbar and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to send us rain.' So he supplicated for rain, and it rained until we could hardly reach our homes. It continued raining until the following Friday. The man — or another man — stood and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to divert it from us.' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Allah, around us and not upon us.' And the clouds dispersed from Madinah like a garment being removed.
