حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْعَزِيزِ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : أَصَابَ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَحْطٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : فَقَامَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ فِي جُمُعَةٍ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَخْطُبُ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، غَلَتِ الْأَسْعَارُ ، وَاحْتَبَسَتِ الْأَمْطَارُ ، فَادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَسْقِيَنَا ، قَالَ : فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَدَيْهِ فَاسْتَسْقَى ، قَالَ : فَمُطِرْنَا ، فَلَمْ نَزَلَ نُمْطَرُ حَتَّى كَانَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ الْمُقْبِلَةُ ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، انْقَطَعَتِ الرُّكْبَانُ ، وَانْهَدَمَ الْبُنْيَانُ ، فَادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَكْشِفَهَا لَنَا ، قَالَ : فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا ، قَالَ : فَتَحَرَّفَتْ ، فَصَارَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ فِي إِكْلِيلٍ ، وَمَا حَوْلَهَا يُمْطَرُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the people of Madinah were struck by drought. So on a Friday the people stood up before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon on the pulpit, and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), prices have risen and the rains have been withheld, so pray to Allah Almighty to give us rain." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raised both his hands and prayed for rain. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) related: Then such rain fell upon us that it continued without a break until the next Friday. So on the next Friday the people again stood up before him (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was seated on the pulpit, and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the travellers' routes have been cut off and buildings have begun to collapse (from the heavy rain), so pray to Allah Almighty to remove this rain from us." At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled, raised both his hands and supplicated: "'Allahumma hawalayna wa la alayna' (O Allah, (send the rain) around us and not (as a burden directly) upon us)." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then the clouds cleared, and Madinah became like (a clearing within) a ring (free of rain), while it was raining in the areas around it.
