It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was passing away, he recited this verse:
And the fair one, by whose face rain is sought from the clouds, He is the nurturer of orphans and the protector of widows.
Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said upon hearing this: By Allah! This person was indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is narrated from Abdullah bin Dinar, who says: I heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar radi Allahu anhuma reciting these verses of poetry of Abu Talib:
Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar radi Allahu anhuma said: I would recall this verse of the poet and look at the face of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, while he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was supplicating for rain. And he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would not yet descend from the pulpit before every water spout would begin to flow forcefully. (Sahih Bukhari: 1008)
