Chapter on The Prayer for Rain

Zujajat al-Masabih 1940Volume 1

English

Shurahbil ibn al-Samt reported that he said to Ka’b ibn Murrah, "O Ka’b ibn Murrah, tell us about the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), but be careful." Ka’b said: "A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah for rain.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) raised his hands and said, 'O Allah, send us beneficial, nourishing, abundant, and timely rain that is not harmful.' The people had not even gathered when the rain came. They came to him and complained about the rain, saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, the houses are collapsing.' He said, 'O Allah, around us and not upon us.' The clouds dispersed to the right and left."
