حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ إِذَا رَأَی سَحَابًا مُقْبِلًا مِنْ أُفُقٍ مِنْ الْآفَاقِ تَرَکَ مَا هُوَ فِيهِ وَإِنْ کَانَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ حَتَّی يَسْتَقْبِلَهُ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَ بِهِ فَإِنْ أَمْطَرَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ سَيْبًا نَافِعًا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً وَإِنْ کَشَفَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلَمْ يُمْطِرْ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَلَی ذَلِکَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3889
' Aishah narrated that when the Prophet(saw) saw a cloud approaching from any horizon, he would stop what he was doing, even if he was praying, and turn to face it, then he would say: (O Allah, we seek refuge with You from the evil of that with which it is sent)." Then if it rained he would say: (O Allah, a beneficial rain),” two or three times. And if Allah dispelled it and it did not rain, he would praise Allah for that. (Sahih)
