حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ: نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَ: نَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ. عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ
أَنَّ الْمَطَرَ قَحَطَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، حَتَّى غَلَا السِّعْرُ، وَخَشَوُا الْهَلَاكَ عَلَى الْأَمْوَالِ، وَخَشِينَا الْهَلَاكَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا، فَقُلْنَا: ادْعُ رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَسْقِيَنَا، فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَلَا وَاللهِ مَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ بَيْضَاءَ، وَلَا وَاللهِ مَا قَبَضَ يَدَهُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ السَّمَاءَ تَشَقَّقُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا وَهَا هُنَا، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ رُكَامًا، فَصَبَّ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَأَيَّامَهُنَّ، مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى، وَالسَّمَاءُ تَسْكُبُ. فَقَالُوا: خَشِينَا الْغَرَقَ، فَادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَحْبِسَهَا، فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَافِعًا يَدَيْهِ، وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ مِنْ خَضْرَاءَ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا. قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ مَا قَبَضَ يَدَهُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ السَّمَاءَ تَصَدَّعُ

✧ Rain was withheld during the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ in Madinah, until prices rose and people feared ruin for their wealth, and we feared ruin for ourselves. We said: “Call upon your Lord to send us rain.” The Messenger of God ﷺ raised his hands toward the sky, and by God, we saw not a single white cloud in the sky, and by God, he did not lower his hand until I saw the sky split open from here and there, until I saw piled clouds, and it poured for seven nights and their days, from one Friday to the next, while the sky continued to pour. They said: “We fear drowning; call upon your Lord to withhold it.” I saw the Messenger of God ﷺ raising his hands, and we saw no greenness in the sky, and he said: “O God, around us and not upon us.” He said: By God, he did not lower his hand until I saw the sky breaking apart.
