Sirat Ibn Hisham 305
He ﷺ prayed for the people when they were afflicted by drought, rain fell, and he wished Abū Ṭālib were alive to see it
[ دَعَا ﷺ لِلنَّاسِ حِينَ أَقْحَطُوا، فَنَزَلَ الْمَطَرُ، وَوَدَّ لَوْ أَنَّ أَبَا طَالِبٍ حَيٌّ، فَرَأَى ذَلِكَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مَنْ أَثِقُ بِهِ، قَالَ: أَقْحَطَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَشَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إلَيْهِ، فَصَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمِنْبَرَ فَاسْتَسْقَى، فَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ جَاءَ مِنْ الْمَطَرِ مَا أَتَاهُ أَهْلُ الضَّوَاحِي يَشْكُونَ مِنْهُ الْغَرَقَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا، فَانْجَابَ السَّحَابُ عَنْ الْمَدِينَةِ فَصَارَ حَوَالَيْهَا كَالْإِكْلِيلِ؛ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: لَوْ أَدْرَكَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ لَسَرَّهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ: كَأَنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَدْتَ قَوْلَهُ:: وَأَبْيَضُ يُسْتَسْقَى الْغَمَامُ بِوَجْهِهِ ثِمَالُ الْيَتَامَى عِصْمَةٌ لِلْأَرَامِلِ قَالَ: أَجَلْ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَقَوْلُهُ وَشَبْرِقَهٌ عَنْ غَيْرِ ابْنِ إسْحَاقَ
Translation
✧ [He ﷺ supplicated for the people when they were afflicted by drought, and rain fell; and he wished Abū Ṭālib were alive to see that] Ibn Hishām said: A person I trust narrated to me, saying: The people of Madinah were afflicted by drought. They came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and complained to him about that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and prayed for rain. It was not long before so much rain came that the people of the outskirts came to him complaining of flooding. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O Allah, around us and not upon us." The clouds dispersed from Madinah and gathered around it like a crown. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If Abū Ṭālib had lived to see this day, it would have pleased him." One of his companions said to him: "It is as if you, O Messenger of Allah, meant his saying: And a fair-faced one by whose face rain is sought from the clouds, A sustainer of orphans, a protection for widows. He said: "Indeed." Ibn Hishām said: His saying "and shabriqah" is from other than Ibn Isḥāq.
