Translation

Abul Jauza[*] said: The people of Medina were afflicted by a severe famine and complained to `A'isha who said, "Look at the Prophet's grave and make windows opening from it towards the sky so that there will be no ceiling between it and the sky." When they had done so they were given rain to such an extent that the herbage sprouted and the camels were bursting with fat. It was called the year of the bursting. *He was Aus b. 'Abdallah ar-Rab'i. He belonged to Basra and died in 83. Darimi transmitted it.
