Bayhaqi 5839 — The evidence of those who held that keeping silent

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ السُّوسِيُّ قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدَ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: أَصَابَتِ النَّاسَ سَنَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فَأَتَاهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكَ الْمَالُ وَجَاعَ الْعِيَالُ، فَادْعُ اللهَ لَنَا، فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْنِي يَدَيْهِ، وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ قَزَعَةً، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا وَضَعَهَا حَتَّى ثَارَتْ سَحَابٌ كَأَمْثَالِ الْجِبَالِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ عَنِ الْمِنْبَرِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الْمَطَرَ يَتَحَادَرُ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ فَمُطِرْنَا يَوْمَنَا ذَلِكَ وَمِنَ الْغَدِ وَمِنْ بَعْدِ الْغَدِ وَالَّذِي يَلِيهِ حَتَّى الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى، فَقَامَ ذَلِكَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ أَوْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَهَدَّمَ الْبِنَاءُ وَجَاعَ الْعِيَالُ فَادْعُ اللهَ لَنَا، فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " اللهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا " قَالَ: فَمَا يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ السَّحَابِ إِلَّا انْفَرَجَتْ حَتَّى صَارَتِ ⦗٣١٤⦘ الْمَدِينَةُ مِثْلَ الْحَوْبَةِ وَسَالَ الْوَادِي وَادِي قَنَاةَ شَهْرًا وَلَمْ يَجِئْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ النَّوَاحِي إِلَّا حَدَّثَ بِالْجَوْدِ ". أَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ، وَمُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ.
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the people faced a drought. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon on the pulpit on Friday when a Bedouin came and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Wealth has been destroyed and the people are hungry; supplicate to Allah (for us)." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands, and we had not seen even a patch of cloud in the sky. By Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) had not yet lowered his hands when clouds like mountains appeared in the sky. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) had not yet come down from the pulpit when the rain began and its drops were falling from his (peace and blessings be upon him) beard. It rained that day, the next day and the day after that, until the following Friday. Then that same Bedouin, or some other man, stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah! The houses have collapsed and the people have remained hungry; supplicate to Allah (for us)." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands and said: 'Allahumma hawalayna wa la 'alayna' "O Allah, turn it (the rain) away from us (let it fall around us)." The narrator says: He (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his hand, and the clouds cleared completely, and Madinah became free of clouds. The streams and valleys kept flowing for a month, and whoever came from the surroundings of Madinah spoke about the rain.
