Hadith 5562

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى نَاشِئًا مِنْ أُفُقٍ مِنْ آفَاقِ السَّمَاءِ تَرَكَ عَمَلَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ فَإِنْ كَشَفَهُ اللَّهُ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَإِنْ مَطَرَتْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ صَيِّبًا نَافِعًا
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw an incomplete cloud in any part of the sky, he would leave his work, even if he was in prayer, and would begin to recite this supplication: "Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min sharri ma fihi" (O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the evil that is in this cloud). If Allah Almighty caused the cloud to disappear, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would praise Allah Almighty, and if it brought rain, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would supplicate: O Allah! Send beneficial rain.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Regarding the people of Hud, the statement of Allah, the Exalted, is: {فَلَمَّا رَاَوْہُ عَارِضًا مُّسْتَقْبِلَ اَوْدِیَتِہِمْ قَالُوْا ھٰذَا عَارِض’‘ مُّمْطِرُنَا بَلْ ھُوَ مَا اسْتَعْجَلْتُمْ بِہٖ رِیْح’‘ فِیْھَا عَذَاب’‘ اَلِیْم’‘۔ تُدَمِّرُکُلَّ شَیْئٍ بِاَمْرِ رَبِّھَا فَاَصْبَحُوْالَا یُرٰٓی اِلَّا مَسٰکِنُہُمْ کَذٰلِکَ نَجْزِی الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ۔} … So when they saw it as a cloud advancing towards their valleys, they said, “This is a cloud bringing us rain.” Rather, it is that (punishment) which you sought to hasten—a wind wherein is a painful punishment. It will destroy everything by the command of its Lord. Thus they became such that nothing could be seen except their dwellings. Thus do We recompense the criminal people. (Surah Al-Ahqaf: 24, 25)
