Hadith text

Narrated Sharik bin `Abdullah bin Abi Namir:I heard Anas bin Malik saying, "On a Friday a person entered the main Mosque through the gate facing the pulpit while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was delivering the Khutba. The man stood in front of Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; so please pray to Allah for rain.' " Anas added, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Bless us with rain! O Allah! Bless us with rain! O Allah! Bless us with rain!' " Anas added, "By Allah, we could not see any trace of cloud in the sky and there was no building or a house between us and (the mountains of) Sila." Anas added, "A heavy cloud like a shield appeared from behind it (i.e. Sila' Mountain). When it came in the middle of the sky, it spread and then rained." Anas further said, "By Allah! We could not see the sun for a week. Next Friday a person entered through the same gate and at that time Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was delivering the Friday's Khutba. The man stood in front of him and said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The livestock are dying and the roads are cut off, please pray to Allah to withhold rain.'" Anas added, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Round about us and not on us. O Allah! On the plateaus, on the mountains, on the hills, in the valleys and on the places where trees grow.' So the rain stopped and we came out walking in the sun." Sharik asked Anas whether it was the same person who had asked for the rain (the last Friday). Anas replied that he did not know

Sharik bin Abdullah bin Abi Namir bataate hain: "Maine Anas bin Malik ko kehte suna: 'Ek Jumme ko ek shaks mimbar ke saamne wale darwaze se masjid mein daakhil hua jabke Allah ke Rasool khutba de rahe the. Woh shaks Allah ke Rasool ke saamne khada hokar bola: Ya Allah ke Rasool! Maal-maweshi mar rahe hain aur raaste band ho gaye hain; Allah se baarish ki dua kijiye.'" Anas ne joda: "Allah ke Rasool ne donon haath uthaye aur kaha: 'Aye Allah! Humein baarish se nawaz! Aye Allah! Humein baarish se nawaz! Aye Allah! Humein baarish se nawaz!'" Anas ne joda: "Allah ki qasam, humein aasman mein baadal ka koi nishaan nahi dikha tha, aur humare aur Sila (pahad) ke darmiyan koi imaarat ya ghar nahi tha." Anas ne joda: "Ek bhaari baadal dhaal ki tarah uske (Sila pahad ke) peechhe se nazar aaya. Jab woh aasman ke beech pahuncha, phail gaya aur baarish shuru ho gayi." Anas ne aage kaha: "Allah ki qasam! Hum ek hafte tak suraj nahi dekh sake. Agle Jumme ko usi darwaze se ek shaks daakhil hua, aur us waqt Allah ke Rasool Jumme ka khutba de rahe the. Shaks unke saamne khada hokar bola: 'Ya Allah ke Rasool! Maal-maweshi mar rahe hain aur raaste band hain, Allah se baarish rokne ki dua kijiye.'" Anas ne joda: "Allah ke Rasool ne donon haath uthaye aur kaha: 'Aye Allah! Humare aas-paas, humpar nahi. Aye Allah! Pathareeli zameenon par, pahadon par, tibbon par, wadiyon mein, aur un jagahon par jahan darakht ugte hain.' To baarish ruk gayi aur hum dhoop mein bahar nikle." Sharik ne Anas se pucha kya yeh wahi shaks tha jisne pichhle Jumme baarish maangi thi. Anas ne kaha unhe nahi pata.
