How to Ask for Rain
1 Yahya related to me from Malik from 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr
ibn 'Amr ibn Hazm that he had heard 'Abbad ibn Tamim say that he had heard
'Abdullah ibn Zayd al-Mazini say, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, came out to the place of prayer and asked for rain, and
when he faced the qibla he turned his cloak inside out."
[cf Bukhari 965]
Malik was asked how many rak'as there were in the prayer of asking for rain
and he said, "Two rak'as, and the imam does the prayer before he gives the
khutba. He prays two rak'as, and then he gives a khutba and makes
du'a', facing the qibla and turning his cloak inside out. He recites
out loud in both rak'as, and when he turns his cloak inside out he puts what is
on his right on his left and what is on his left on his right, and all the
people turn their cloaks inside out when the imam does so and face the qibla,
sitting."
13.2 About Asking for Rain
2 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, when
he asked for rain, "O Allah, give water to Your slaves and Your animals, and
spread Your mercy, and give life to Your dead land."
3 Yahya related to me from Malik from Sharik ibn 'Abdullah
ibn Abi Namir that Anas ibn Malik said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, our
animals are dying and our camels are too weak to travel, so make du'a' to
Allah.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, made
du'a', and it rained on us from one Jumu'a to the next."
Anas continued, "Then a man came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, our houses have fallen
down, the paths are blocked, and our flocks are dying.' The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'O Allah, (only) the mountain and
hill-tops, the valley bottoms, and the places where trees grow.' "
Anas added, "It cleared away from Madina like a garment being removed."
[cf Bukhari 968]
Malik said, about a man who missed the prayer of asking for rain but caught
the khutba and wished to pray in the mosque, or in his house when he
returned, "He is free to do so, or not, as he wishes."
13.3 About Asking the Stars for Rain
4 Yahya related to me from Malik from Salih ibn Kaysan from
'Ubaydullah ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Utba ibn Mas'ud that Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani
said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, took the
Subh prayer with us at Hudaybiyya after it had rained in the night. When
he had finished he went up to the people and asked, 'Do you know what your Lord
has said?' They replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Some of
My slaves have begun the morning believing in Me, and others have begun it
rejecting Me. As for those who say, 'We were rained on through the overflowing
favour of Allah and His mercy,' they believe in Me and reject the stars. But as
for those who say, 'We were rained on through such and such a star, they reject
Me and believe in the stars.'"
[cf Bukhari 810]
5 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say, "When a cloud
appears from the direction of the sea and then goes towards Syria, it will be an
abundant source of rain."
6 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abu Hurayra used to
say, when morning came after it had rained on the people, "We have been rained
upon by the rain of Allah's opening," and would then recite the ayat,
"Whatever mercy Allah opens up to people no one can withhold, and whatever He
withholds no one can afterwards release." (35:2).
