1019. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: A man came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Livestock are destroyed and the roads are cut off; so please invoke Allāh (for rain)." So, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ invoked Allāh for rain and it rained from that Friday till the next Friday. Then a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! The houses have collapsed, roads are cut off and the livestock are destroyed." So, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "O Allāh! (Let it rain) on the tops of the mountains, on the plateaus, in the valleys and over the places where trees grow." So, the clouds cleared away from Al-Madina just as the taking off a garment from one's body.

1019 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَلَكَتِ المَوَاشِي، وَتَقَطَّعَتِ السُّبُلُ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ، فَدَعَا اللَّهَ، فَمُطِرْنَا مِنَ الجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الجُمُعَةِ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، تَهَدَّمَتِ البُيُوتُ، وَتَقَطَّعَتِ السُّبُلُ، وَهَلَكَتِ المَوَاشِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى ظُهُورِ الجِبَالِ وَالآكَامِ، وَبُطُونِ الأَوْدِيَةِ، وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ» فَانْجَابَتْ عَنِ المَدِينَةِ انْجِيَابَ الثَّوْبِ
