Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ وَحَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ إِنِّي لَقَاعِدٌ عِنْدَ الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ قَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حُبِسَ الْمَطَرُ هَلَكَتْ الْمَوَاشِي ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَسْقِيَنَا قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا أَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ مِنْ سَحَابٍ فَأُلِّفَ بَيْنَ السَّحَابِ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ فَأَلَّفَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ السَّحَابِ فَوَأَلْنَا قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ سَعَيْنَا حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ الشَّدِيدَ تَهُمُّهُ نَفْسُهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَهْلَهُ فَمُطِرْنَا سَبْعًا وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ الْمُقْبِلَةِ إِذْ قَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَهَدَّمَتْ الْبُيُوتُ حُبِسَ السِّفَارُ ادْعُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا عَنَّا قَالَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا قَالَ فَتَقَوَّرَ مَا فَوْقَ رَأْسِنَا مِنْهَا حَتَّى كَأَنَّا فِي إِكْلِيلٍ يُمْطَرُ مَا حَوْلَنَا وَلَا نُمْطَرُ.
English Translation
Bahz told us, and Hajjaj told us, they said: Sulayman ibn al-Mughirah told us, from Thabit, who said: Anas said, "I was sitting near the pulpit on a Friday while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was delivering the sermon, when one of the people of the mosque said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the rain has been withheld and the livestock have perished; pray to Allah to give us rain.'" Anas said: So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, raised his hands, and I did not see a single cloud in the sky, and then the clouds gathered together. Hajjaj said: Allah brought the clouds together, and we hurried. Hajjaj said: We ran until I saw the man most concerned about reaching his family, and it rained on us for seven days. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went out to deliver the sermon the following Friday, when one of the people of the mosque said, "O Messenger of Allah, the houses have collapsed and the roads are blocked; pray to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, to lift it from us." He said: So he raised his hands and said, "O Allah, around us and not upon us." He said: Then what was above our heads broke open, so that we were as if in a wreath, with rain falling around us but not on us.
