Narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she states that during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, people were afflicted with severe famine. A Jew passed by them and said: "If your companion (Muhammad ﷺ) wishes, as much rain as you want can be sent down upon you, but he does not like that rain should fall upon you." The Prophet ﷺ was informed of the Jew's statement, so he said: "Did he say this?" The companions said: "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said: "I will seek help for the people of Najd in this famine, and I see that clouds are coming out from Aden, which I dislike. On such-and-such day, I promise you, I will supplicate for rain for you." He said: When that day came, the people gathered early in the morning, and they had not yet dispersed when it began to rain, and then it continued to rain for a whole week.

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said, "The livestock have perished and the roads are blocked, so pray to Allah (for rain)." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It rained continuously from one Friday to the next. Then the same man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! The houses have collapsed, the roads have been cut off, and the livestock have been destroyed (due to the abundance of water)." So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and prayed: "O Allah! Let the rain fall on the tops of the mountains, on the hills, in the valleys, and in the gardens." (As a result of the supplication) the clouds parted from Madinah as if a cloth had been torn into pieces.
