Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31459 — The supplication when praying
٣١٤٥٩ - حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن مطرف عن الشعبي أن عمر خرج يستسقي فصعد المنبر فقال: ﴿اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا (١٠) يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارًا (١١) وَيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْهَارًا﴾ [نوح: ١٠ - ١٢]، واستغفروا ربكم إنه وإن غفارا ثم نزل، فقيل له: يا أمير المؤمنين لو استسقيت (فقال) (١): لقد طلبت (بمجاديح) (٢) السماء التي يستنزل بها القطر (٣).
Al-Sha'bi said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went out to supplicate for rain, ascended the pulpit and recited these verses: Ask forgiveness of your Lord; indeed, He is Most Forgiving. He will send down upon you from the sky abundant rain, bestow upon you wealth and children, produce gardens for you and make rivers flow for you. And ask forgiveness of your Lord. Then he came down from the pulpit. It was said to him: O Commander of the Faithful, it would have been good if you had also asked for rain. He said: I have indeed sought water through the rain-bringing stars of the sky, by which the drops of water are brought down.
