English translation

1169. It was reported from Yazīd bin Al-Faqīr, from Jābir bin Abdullāh, that he said: "Some people came to the Prophet ﷺ, crying (and complaining). So he said: 'Allāhumma asqinā ghaithan mughīthan marī'an marī'ah nāfi'an ghaira dārrin, ājilan ghaira ājil (O Allāh! Grant us rain — a rain that is helpful, blessed and fruitful (for the crops); (a rain that is) beneficial and not harmful, immediate and not delayed.)' So the skies covered them up." (Hasan)

Arabic text

1169 - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَقِيرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بَوَاكِي، فَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثًا مُغِيثًا، مَرِيئًا مَرِيعًا، نَافِعًا غَيْرَ ضَارٍّ، عَاجِلًا غَيْرَ آجِلٍ»، قَالَ: فَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ

Commentary

1. In times of difficulty, hardship or need, one should supplicate to Allah, ardently, humbly, and repeatedly. 2. One may also request the living and present pious, devout men to supplicate to Allāh for relief.
