Musnad Abi Ya'la 3863 — Sayyiduna Anas was asked whether the Messenger
قَالَ : وَسُئِلَ أَنَسٌ : هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي الدُّعَاءِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، بَيْنَمَا هُوَ ذَاتَ يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ ، فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَحَطَ الْمَطَرُ ، وَأَجْدَبَتِ الْأَرْضُ ، وَهَلَكَ الْمَالُ ، فَادْعُ اللهَ ، قَالَ : فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ ، فَاسْتَسْقَى ، وَمَا أَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ سَحَابَةً ، فَمَا قَضَيْنَا الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى إِنَّ الشَّابَّ الْقَرِيبَ الدَّارِ يُهِمُّهُ الرُّجُوعُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ ، فَدَامَتْ جُمُعَةً ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ ، وَاحْتَبَسَ الرُّكْبَانُ ، وَهَلَكَ الْمَالُ ، قَالَ : فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ فَفَرَجَ بَيْنَهُمَا ، ثُمَّ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا ، وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَكُشِفَتْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ .
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to raise both his hands in supplication. He replied: "Yes. Once, on a Friday, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon to the people, it was said: O Messenger of Allah! The rain has stopped, the land has dried up and become barren, and the wealth and livestock are perishing, so supplicate to Allah." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised both his blessed hands so high that I saw the whiteness of his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed armpits. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for rain, though at that time there was not a trace of cloud in the sky. We had hardly finished the prayer when such heavy rain began that even the young man whose house was close by became anxious about reaching his family safely. That rain continued for a whole week. When the next Friday came, the people said: O Messenger of Allah! The houses have begun to collapse, the travellers are held up because the roads are blocked, and the wealth and livestock are perishing." The narrator said: "On hearing this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his blessed hands, parting them from each other, and supplicated: 'Allahumma hawalayna wa la 'alayna' (O Allah, (send rain) around us and not (such rain as causes harm) upon us). And he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with both his hands, and the clouds cleared completely from over Madinah."
