( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ النَّضْرَوِيُّ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ وَهُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ:

خَرَجَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ 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 وَيَا قَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارًا.

ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (may God be pleased with him) went out to pray for rain, and he did not add anything to seeking forgiveness until he returned. It was said to him: "We did not see you pray for rain." He said: "I sought the rain with the rain-bringing stars of the sky, by which the rain is made to descend." Then he recited: ﴿اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارًا﴾ and ﴿وَيَا قَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارًا﴾.
