أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ شَرِيکِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ جَائَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَکَتْ الْمَوَاشِي وَانْقَطَعَتْ السُّبُلُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمُطِرْنَا مِنْ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَی الْجُمُعَةِ فَجَائَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَهَدَّمَتْ الْبُيُوتُ وَانْقَطَعَتْ السُّبُلُ وَهَلَکَتْ الْمَوَاشِي فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَی رُئُوسِ الْجِبَالِ وَالْآکَامِ وَبُطُونِ الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ فَانْجَابَتْ عَنْ الْمَدِينَةِ انْجِيَابَ الثَّوْبِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1509
It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “A man came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, the livestock have died and the routes have been cut off; pray to Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.’ So the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم prayed to Allah and it rained from that Friday until the next. Then a man came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: ‘The houses have been destroyed, the routes have been cut off and the livestock have died.’ He said: ‘Allah, on the tops of the mountains and hills, in the bottom of the valleys and where the trees grow.’ So (the rain) was lifted from Al-Madinah like a garment being removed.”(Sahih).
