Narrated Sharik: Anas Bin Malik said; A person entered the Masjid on a Friday through the gate facing the Daril- Qada and Allah Messenger ﷺ was standing delivering the Khutba sermon. The man stood in front of Allah Messenger ﷺ and said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ; livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; please pray to Allah for rain. So Allah Messenger ﷺ ﷺ raised both his hands and said; O Allah! Bless us with rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain! Anas added; By Allah; there were no clouds in the sky and there was no house or building between us and the mountain of Sila. Then a big cloud like a shield appeared from behind it i.e. Silas Mountain and when it came in the middle of the sky; it spread and then rained. By Allah! We could not see the sun for a week. The next Friday; a person entered through the same gate and Allah Messenger ﷺ was delivering the Friday Khutba and the man stood in front of him and said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! The livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; Please pray to Allah to withhold rain. Anas added; Allah Messenger ﷺ raised both his hands and said; O Allah! Round about us and not on us. O Allah! On the plateaus; on the mountains; on the hills; in the valleys and on the places where trees grow. Anas added; The rain stopped and we came out; walking in the sun. Sharik asked Anas whether it was the same person who had asked for rain the previous Friday. Anas replied that he did not know.
