English translation

1029. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: A bedouin came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ on a Friday and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! The livestock, the offspring, and the people have perished." So, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ raised both his hands invoking Allāh (for rain) and the people too raised their hands with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ invoking Allāh (for rain). We had not left the mosque when it started raining. It rained till the next Friday when the same man came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! The travellers are compelled to postpone their journeys (because of excessive rain) and the roads are overflooded."

1029 - قَالَ أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ، قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ البَدْوِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الجُمُعَةِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَلَكَتِ المَاشِيَةُ، هَلَكَ العِيَالُ هَلَكَ النَّاسُ، «فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَيْهِ، يَدْعُو، وَرَفَعَ النَّاسُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ مَعَهُ يَدْعُونَ»، قَالَ: فَمَا خَرَجْنَا مِنَ المَسْجِدِ حَتَّى مُطِرْنَا، فَمَا زِلْنَا نُمْطَرُ حَتَّى كَانَتِ الجُمُعَةُ الأُخْرَى، فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، بَشِقَ المُسَافِرُ وَمُنِعَ الطَّرِيقُ
