English translation
“Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, the All-Merciful, the Compassionate, Owner of the Day of Judgment. There is no god but Allah; He does as He wishes. O Allah, You are Allah and there is no god but You, the Infinitely Rich, and we are poor. Send down the rain and make what You have sent down strength for us, and provision for a time. I bear witness that Allah is over all things All-Powerful, and I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger.”
Virtue & benefit: “Anas (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrated: “A man came into the mosque on Friday while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing and delivering the sermon, and said: ‘Messenger of Allah, our wealth has been destroyed and our means of survival have been cut off. Pray to Allah to give us rain.’ So the Messenger of Allah raised his hands and said [the above]. “By Allah, we could not see any cloud in the sky – not even a tiny one. There was no house or home between us and Sala (a mountain near Madinah). There appeared a cloud behind him that was like a shield. When it was in the middle of the sky it spread out and it started to rain. By Allah, we did not see the sun for a week. Then the man entered the mosque the following Friday while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing and delivering the sermon. He said: ‘Messenger of Allah, out wealth has been destroyed and our means of survival have been cut off [because of the rains]. Pray to Allah to give us respite.” The Messenger of Allah raised his hands and said [the above]. The rain stopped and we went outside, and the sun was shining.” (Bukhārī 1013)
