Anas bin Malik said, "A person entered the Mosque on a Friday through the gate facing the Daril-Qada' and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was standing delivering the Khutba (sermon). The man stood in front ofAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; please prayto Allah for rain.' So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Bless us withrain. O Allah! Bless us with rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain!" Anas added, "By Allah, there were noclouds in the sky and there was no house or building between us and the mountain of Sila'. Then a bigcloud like a shield appeared from behind it (i.e. Silas Mountain) and when it came in the middle of thesky, it spread and then rained. By Allah! We could not see the sun for a week. The next Friday, aperson entered through the same gate and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was delivering the Friday Khutba and theman stood in front of him and said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The livestock are dying and the roads are cutoff; Please pray to Allah to withhold rain.' " Anas added, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) raised both his hands andsaid, 'O Allah! Round about us and not on us. O Allah!' On the plateaus, on the mountains, on thehills, in the valleys and on the places where trees grow.' " Anas added, "The rain stopped and we cameout, walking in the sun." Sharik asked Anas whether it was the same person who had asked for rainthe previous Friday. Anas replied that he did not know.
