Hadith text
Narrated Sharik:Anas bin Malik said, "A person entered the Mosque on a Friday through the gate facing the Daril- Qada' and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was standing delivering the Khutba (sermon). The man stood in front of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; please pray to Allah for rain.' So 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, there were no clouds in the sky and there was no house or building between us and the mountain of Sila'. Then a big cloud like a shield appeared from behind it (i.e. Sila' Mountain) and when it came in the middle of the sky, it spread and then rained. By Allah! We could not see the sun for a week. The next Friday, a person entered through the same gate and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was delivering the Friday Khutba and 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.' " Anas added, "The rain stopped and we came out, walking in the sun." Sharik asked Anas whether it was the same person who had asked for rain the previous Friday. Anas replied that he did not know
Sharik bataate hain: Anas bin Malik ne kaha: "Ek shaks Jumme ke din masjid mein Daril-Qada ke saamne wale darwaze se daakhil hua, aur Allah ke Rasool khade hokar khutba de rahe the. Shaks Allah ke Rasool ke saamne khada hokar bola: 'Ya Allah ke Rasool, maal-maweshi mar rahe hain aur raaste band hain; Allah se baarish ki dua kijiye.' To 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, aasman mein koi baadal nahi tha aur humare aur Sila pahad ke darmiyan koi ghar ya imaarat nahi thi. Phir ek bada baadal dhaal ki tarah uske peechhe se nazar aaya aur jab woh aasman ke beech pahuncha, phail gaya aur baarish hone lagi. Allah ki qasam! Hum ek hafte tak suraj nahi dekh sake. Agle Jumme ko, ek shaks usi darwaze se daakhil hua aur 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.'" Anas ne joda: "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.
