Sahih al-Bukhari 988 (Book 15, Hadith 11)
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) invoked Allah for rain and it rained from that Friday till the next Friday. The same
person came again and said, “Houses have collapsed, roads are cut off, and the livestock are
destroyed. Please pray to Allah to withhold the rain.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (stood up and) said, “O Allah!
(Let it rain) on the plateaus, on the hills, in the valleys and over the places where trees grow.” So the
clouds cleared away from Medina as clothes are taken off .
“ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى الآكَامِ وَالظِّرَابِ وَالأَوْدِيَةِ وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ ”. فَانْجَابَتْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ انْجِيَابَ الثَّوْبِ.
