حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنْ رَفْعِ الْأَيْدِي، فَقَالَ: قَامَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْضُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَحَطَ الْمَطَرُ، أَجْدَبَتِ الْأَرْضُ، هَلَكَ الْمَالُ. قَالَ: فَاسْتَسْقَى، فَرَفَعَ، ، يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ، وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ سَحَابَةً، فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى حَتَّى جَعَلَ يَهُمُّ الْقَرِيبُ الدَّارِ الرُّجُوعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْمَطَرِ، قَالَ: فَمَكَثْنَا سَبْعًا، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ، وَاحْتَبَسَ الرُّكْبَانُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اللهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا ". قَالَ: فَتَكَشَّفَتْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ (١)،
Translation
English translation
Humaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a person asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Prophet (ﷺ) used to raise his hands in supplication. He replied that once, on a Friday, people said to the Prophet (ﷺ): "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The rain has stopped, the land has become dry, and the livestock are being destroyed." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his hands so high that I could see the whiteness of his blessed armpits, and the Prophet (ﷺ) supplicated for rain. At the time when the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his blessed hands, we could not see any clouds in the sky, but when the prayer was finished, the young men living in nearby houses had difficulty returning to their homes. When the next Friday came, people said: "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The buildings of the houses have collapsed and the riders have been forced to stop outside Madinah." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) supplicated to Allah: "O Allah! Let this rain fall around us, not upon us." Thus, the rain moved away from Madinah.
