اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَقِيرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَوَاكِي ، فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثًا مُغِيثًا مَرِيئًا نَافِعًا غَيْرَ ضَارٍّ عَاجِلًا غَيْرَ آجِلٍ " ، قَالَ : فَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ .
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The people came to the Prophet ﷺ weeping (due to drought). He said (making supplication): O Allah! give us rain which will replenish us, abundant, fertilising and profitable, not injurious, granting it now without delay. He (the narrator) said: Thereupon the sky became overcast.

➊ A person should always supplicate to Allah alone for both his individual and collective needs, and he should supplicate earnestly and repeatedly.
➋ One should also request supplication from the righteous, which is a legislated and Sunnah means.
➌ In one version of this hadith, these words are narrated: «أتيت النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم يواكي» Its translation is as follows: I came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and he was reclining on his hands.
