A man entered the mosque on a Friday through a door facing the house of judgment, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing and delivering the sermon. He stood facing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah, our wealth has perished and the roads are cut off. Pray to Allah to send us rain."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and said, "O Allah, send us rain. O Allah, send us rain. O Allah, send us rain."Anas said, "By Allah, we could see no cloud in the sky, not even a wisp, and there was no house or building between us and Mount Sala. Then from behind the mountain a cloud appeared like a shield, and when it reached the middle of the sky it spread out and began to pour. By Allah, we did not see the sun for six days." The hadith continues.In another narration, the wording is, "O Allah, give us water. O Allah, give us water. O Allah, give us water."
أن رجلا دخل المسجد يوم جمعة من باب كان نحو دار القضاء ورسول الله ﷺ قائم يخطب، فاستقبل رسول الله ﷺ قائما ثم قال: يا رسول الله هلكت الأموال، وانقطعت السبل، فادع الله يغيثنا فرفع رسول الله ﷺ يديه، ثم قال: اللهم أغثنا اللهم أغثنا اللهم أغثنا. قال أنس: ولا والله ما نرى في السماء من سحاب ولا قزعة، وما بيننا وبين سلع من بيت ولا دار قال: فطلعت من ورائه سحابة مثل الترس، فلما توسطت السماء انتشرت ثم أمطرت، فلا والله ما رأينا الشمس ستا… الحديث وفي رواية: اللهم اسقنا، اللهم اسقنا، اللهم اسقنا.
