ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1269
It was narrated from Shurahbil bin Simt that he said to Ka’b: “0 Ka’b bin Murrah, narrate to us a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H, but be careful” He said: “A man caine to the Prophet P.B.U.H and said: ‘0 Messenger of Allah, ask Allah for rain!’ So the Messenger of Allah raised his hands and said: ‘0 Allah! Send wholesome, productive rain upon all of us, sooner rather than later, beneficial and not harmful.’ No sooner had they finished performing Friday (prayer) but they were revived. Then they came to him and complained to him about the rain, saying: ‘0 Messenger of Allah, the houses have been destroyed!’ He said: ‘0 Allah, around us and not upon us.’ Then the clouds began to disperse right and left.” (Hasan)
