Hadith 32:1799

Husayn narrated to us, in the interpretation of Shayban, from Qatadah, who said: Anas ibn Malik narrated to us that a man called out to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) on a Friday while he was delivering the sermon to the people in Medina. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, the rain has ceased, the land has become barren, and the people are suffering from drought, so pray to your Lord for rain for us." The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) looked toward the sky, and we did not see much cloud. He prayed for rain, and the clouds gathered together. Then it rained until the gutters of Medina flowed, and its paths became like rivers. It continued like that until the following Friday, without ceasing. Then that man, or someone else, stood up while the Prophet of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was delivering the sermon and said: "O Prophet of Allah, pray to Allah to hold it back from us." The Prophet of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) laughed and then said: "O Allah, around us and not upon us." He prayed to his Lord, and the clouds began to break apart over Medina to the right and to the left, raining on what was around it, while not raining anything upon it.

حدثنا حسين، في تفسير شيبان، عن قتادة، قال: وحدثنا أنس بن مالك، أن رجلا نادى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في يوم الجمعة وهو يخطب الناس بالمدينة، فقال: يا رسول الله، قحط المطر، وأمحلت الأرض، وقحط الناس، فاستسق لنا ربك، فنظر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى السماء، وما نرى كثير سحاب، فاستسقى، فنشأ السحاب بعضه إلى بعض، ثم مطروا حتى سالت مثاعب المدينة، واضطردت طرقها أنهارا، فما زالت كذلك إلى يوم الجمعة المقبلة ما تقلع، ثم قام ذلك الرجل، أو غيره ونبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطب، فقال: يا نبي الله، ادع الله أن يحبسها عنا، فضحك نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم قال: " اللهم حوالينا ولا علينا "، فدعا ربه، فجعل السحاب يتصدع عن المدينة يمينا وشمالا يمطر ما حولها، ولا يمطر فيها شيئا
