English translation

[2079] 9 - (...) It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "The people were stricken with a famine during the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. While the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was addressing the people from the Minbar one Friday, a Bedouin stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, our wealth has been destroyed and our children are starving...' and he quoted a similar Hadîth (as no. 2078), in which he said: Allâhumma! Hawlanâ wa lâ 'alainâ (O Allâh, around us and not on us)." And whichever direction he pointed to, the clouds broke up, until I saw Al-Madînah as if it were in a hole. The valley of Qanâh flowed for a month, and no one came from any direction but he brought news of heavy rainfall.

Arabic text

9 - (897) وحَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: أَصَابَتِ النَّاسَ سَنَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَبَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، إِذْ قَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكَ الْمَالُ، وَجَاعَ الْعِيَالُ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَاهُ، وَفِيهِ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا»، قَالَ: فَمَا يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ إِلَّا تَفَرَّجَتْ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي مِثْلِ الْجَوْبَةِ وَسَالَ وَادِي قَنَاةَ شَهْرًا، وَلَمْ يَجِئْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرَ بِجَوْدٍ.
