عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلِ بْنِ السِّمْطِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مُرَّةَ! حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحْذَرْ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ وَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: اسْتَسْقِ اللَّهَ لِمُضَرَ، فَقَالَ: ((إِنَّكَ لَجَرِيءٌ، أَلِمُضَرَ؟)) قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! اسْتَنْصَرْتَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَنَصَرَكَ وَدَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَأَجَابَكَ، قَالَ: فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ: ((اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثًا مُغِيثًا مُرِيعًا مَرِيعًا طَبَقًا غَدَقًا عَاجِلًا غَيْرَ رَائِثٍ، نَافِعًا غَيْرَ ضَارٍّ))، قَالَ: فَأُجِيبُوا، قَالَ: فَمَا لَبِثُوا أَنْ أَتَوْهُ فَشَكَوْا إِلَيْهِ كَثْرَةَ الْمَطَرِ، فَقَالُوا: قَدْ تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ، قَالَ: فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ: ((اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا))، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ الْسَّحَابُ يَتَقَطَّعُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا
Sharjeel bin Simt said to Sayyiduna Ka’b bin Murrah, may Allah be pleased with him: O Ka’b bin Murrah! Narrate to us a hadith of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and be careful. He said: I was listening when a man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: Pray to Allah for rain for the tribe of Mudar. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: You are very bold, is it for Mudar? He said: O Messenger of Allah! You asked Allah for help and He helped you, and you prayed to Allah and He accepted, (so please pray this time as well). So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, raised his hands and prayed: O Allah! Send down upon us such rain that removes hardship and distress, makes the land green, and has a good outcome, and let it be a general rain and abundant in water, let it come quickly and not be delayed, let it be beneficial and not harmful. Thus, the people's request was fulfilled and they soon came back to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, complaining about the abundance of rain, saying: The houses are collapsing. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, raised his hands and prayed: O Allah! Let it rain around us, not upon us. The clouds split and began to move to the right and left.
