حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ , وَمُسَدَّدٌ الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " أَصَابَنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَطَرٌ ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَسَرَ ثَوْبَهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَصَابَهُ ، فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لِمَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : لِأَنَّهُ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِرَبِّهِ " .
Anas said; A shower of rain fell on us when we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and removed his garment till some of the rain fell on him. We asked him; Messenger of Allah! Why did you do this? He replied: Because it has recently been with its Lord.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
➊ This hadith shows that withholding and sending down rain is within the control of Allah Ta'ala. He withholds it whenever He wills and sends it down whenever He wills, regardless of whatever apparent causes there may be.
➋ It is also established from this that Allah Ta'ala is above, because the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "It is coming freshly from your Lord," and rain comes from above.
➌ Therefore, it is commendable to seek blessing from it.
