Hadith text

Narrated Anas:Whenever drought threatened them, `Umar bin Al-Khattab, used to ask Al-Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib to invoke Allah for rain. He used to say, "O Allah! We used to ask our Prophet to invoke You for rain, and You would bless us with rain, and now we ask his uncle to invoke You for rain. O Allah ! Bless us with rain."(1) And so it would rain

Anas (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Jab bhi sookha (akaal) ka khatra hota, Umar bin Khattab Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib se baarish ke liye Allah se dua karne ko kehte the. Umar kehte: "Aye Allah! Hum apne Nabi se aapse baarish maangte the, to aap humein baarish se nawazte the, aur ab hum unke chacha se dua karwa rahe hain. Aye Allah! Humein baarish se nawaz." Aur baarish ho jaati.
