While the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering a sermon on a Friday, a man stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!Invoke Allah to bless us with rain." (The Prophet (ﷺ) invoked Allah for rain.) So, the sky became overcastand it started raining till one could hardly reach one's home. It kept on raining till the next Fridaywhen the same man or another man got up and said (to the Prophet), "Invoke Allah to withhold therain from us, for we have been drowned (with heavy rain )." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! Let it rainaround us and not on us." Then the clouds started dispersing around Medina and rain ceased to fall onthe people of Medina.
