are cut off; so please invoke Allah.” So Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) prayed for rain and it rained from that Friday
till the next Friday. Then a man came to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! The
houses have collapsed, roads are cut off and the livestock are destroyed.” So Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “O

where trees grow.” So the clouds cleared away from Medina as clothes are taken off.
“ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى ظُهُورِ الْجِبَالِ وَالآكَامِ وَبُطُونِ الأَوْدِيَةِ وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ ”. فَانْجَابَتْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ انْجِيَابَ الثَّوْبِ.
