Hadith 448
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبَّادَ بْنَ تَمِيمٍ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَيْدٍ الْمَازِنِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : " خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى فَاسْتَسْقَى ، وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ حِينَ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zaid Mazni (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went out for the prayer of Istisqa (prayer for rain), and he turned his cloak inside out when he faced the Qiblah.
Hadith 448B
وَسُئِلَ مَالِك ، عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْاسْتِسْقَاءِ كَمْ هِيَ ؟ فَقَالَ : رَكْعَتَانِ ، وَلَكِنْ يَبْدَأُ الْإِمَامُ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ، فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ، وَيَدْعُو وَيَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ وَيُحَوِّلُ رِدَاءَهُ حِينَ يَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ ، وَيَجْهَرُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ ، وَإِذَا حَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ جَعَلَ الَّذِي عَلَى يَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ ، وَالَّذِي عَلَى شِمَالِهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ، وَيُحَوِّلُ النَّاسُ أَرْدِيَتَهُمْ إِذَا حَوَّلَ الْإِمَامُ رِدَاءَهُ وَيَسْتَقْبِلُونَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَهُمْ قُعُودٌ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked how many rak'ahs are in the prayer of Istisqa (prayer for rain)? He replied that there are two rak'ahs, and the Imam should first perform the prayer, then stand and deliver the sermon and supplicate facing the Qiblah. And when he turns his face towards the Qiblah, he should turn his cloak inside out, and recite aloud in both rak'ahs. And he should turn his cloak in such a way that the right side's edge comes to the left and the left side's edge comes to the right, and the followers should also turn their cloaks in the same way when the Imam does so. And they should face the Qiblah while sitting.
Hadith 449
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَسْقَى قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِ عِبَادَكَ وَبَهِيمَتَكَ ، وَانْشُرْ رَحْمَتَكَ وَأَحْيِ بَلَدَكَ الْمَيِّتَ "
It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Shu'aib that when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed for rain, he would say: "O Allah! Give water to Your servants and animals, and spread Your mercy, and revive Your dead land."
Hadith 450
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَلَكَتِ الْمَوَاشِي وَتَقَطَّعَتِ السُّبُلُ ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَمُطِرْنَا مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ وَانْقَطَعَتِ السُّبُلُ وَهَلَكَتِ الْمَوَاشِي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اللَّهُمَّ ظُهُورَ الْجِبَالِ وَالْآكَامِ وَبُطُونَ الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَمَنَابِتَ الشَّجَرِ " ، قَالَ : فَانْجَابَتْ عَنْ الْمَدِينَةِ انْجِيَابَ الثَّوْبِ . ¤ قَالَ مَالِك فِي رَجُلٍ فَاتَتْهُ صَلَاةُ الْاسْتِسْقَاءِ وَأَدْرَكَ الْخُطْبَةَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَهَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَوْ فِي بَيْتِهِ إِذَا رَجَعَ ، قَالَ مَالِك : هُوَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فِي سَعَةٍ إِنْ شَاءَ فَعَلَ أَوْ تَرَكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! The animals have died and the roads are blocked, so pray to Allah. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prayed, and it rained from one Friday to the next Friday. Then a man came and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! The houses have collapsed, the roads are blocked, and the animals have died. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prayed: "O Allah! Let it rain on the mountains, the hills, the valleys, and around the trees." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) made this supplication, the clouds parted from Madinah as an old garment is torn apart.
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said that if someone misses the prayer of Istisqa but catches the sermon, then he has the choice: if he wishes, he may pray two rak‘ahs of Istisqa in the mosque, or pray them at home, or not pray at all, because the prayer of Istisqa is nafl (supererogatory).
