أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ النَّضْرَوِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا ⦗٤٩١⦘ سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، وَهُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ: " خَرَجَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَسْتَسْقِي، فَلَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى الِاسْتِغْفَارِ حَتَّى رَجَعَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: مَا رَأَيْنَاكَ اسْتَسْقَيْتَ فَقَالَ: " لَقَدْ طَلَبْتُ الْمَطَرَ بِمَجَادِيحِ السَّمَاءِ، الَّذِي يُسْتَنْزَلُ بِهِ الْمَطَرُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا. يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارًا} [نوح: ١٠]، {وَيَا قَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارًا} [هود: ٥٢] ".
Al-Sha'bi narrates that Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) went out to ask for rain, and he did nothing but seek forgiveness, and then returned. It was said to him: We did not see you ask for rain. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have asked for rain from the channels of the heaven from which rain comes down. Then he recited these verses: "Seek forgiveness of your Lord; indeed, He is ever Most Forgiving. He will send down the sky upon you in abundant rain." [Surah Nuh: 10, 11] and "O my people, seek forgiveness of your Lord, then repent to Him; He will send down the sky upon you in abundant rain." [Surah Hud: 52].
