Musnad Ahmad 5673

Translation

✧ Often I would recall the poet's words while looking at the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the pulpit as he prayed for rain, and he would not descend until every spout was flowing. I recall the poet's words: 'A fair-faced one by whose face rain is sought, a refuge for orphans, a protection for widows.' That is the saying of Abu Talib.
