Once during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), the people of Medina suffered from drought. So while theProphet was delivering a sermon on a Friday a man got up saying, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The horses andsheep have perished. Will you invoke Allah to bless us with rain?" The Prophet (ﷺ) lifted both his handsand invoked. The sky at that time was as clear as glass. Suddenly a wind blew, raising clouds thatgathered together, and it started raining heavily. We came out (of the Mosque) wading through theflowing water till we reached our homes. It went on raining till the next Friday, when the same man orsome other man stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The houses have collapsed; please invokeAllah to withhold the rain." On that the Prophet (ﷺ) smiled and said, "O Allah, (let it rain) around us andnot on us." I then looked at the clouds to see them separating forming a sort of a crown round Medina.
