Narrated Sharik:
Anas bin Malik said. "A person entered the Mosque on a Friday through the gate facing the Daril-Qada' and Allah's Apostle was standing delivering the Khutba (sermon). The man stood in front of Allah's Apostle and said. 'O Allah's Apostle livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; please pray to Allah for rain.' So Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) raised both his hands and said. 'O Allah! Bless us with rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain!" Anas added. "By Allah there were no clouds in the sky and there was no house or building between us and the mountain of Silas'. Then a big cloud like a shield appeared from behind it (i.e. Silas Mountain) and when it came in the middle of the sky it spread and then rained. By Allah! We could not see the sun for a week. The next Friday a person entered through the same gate and Allah's Apostle was delivering the Friday Khutba and the man stood in front of him and said. 'O Allah's Apostle! The livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; Please pray to Allah to withhold rain.' " Anas added. "Allah's Apostle raised both his hands and said. 'O Allah! Round about us and not on us. O Allah!' On the plateaus on the mountains on the hills in the valleys and on the places where trees grow.' " Anas added. "The rain stopped and we came out walking in the sun." Sharik asked Anas whether it was the same person who had asked for rain the previous Friday. Anas replied that he did not know.
