Thulathiyyat (Musnad Ahmad) 106
Musnad of Abū Ḥamzah Anas ibn Mālik al-Anṣārī, the Servant of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ: هَلْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ؟ فَقَالَ: قِيلَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَحَطَ الْمَطَرُ، وَأَجْدَبَتِ الْأَرْضُ، وَهَلَكَ الْمَالُ. قَالَ: فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ، فَاسْتَسْقَى، وَلَقَدْ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، وَمَا يُرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ سَحَابَةً، فَمَا قَضَيْنَا الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى إِنَّ قَرِيبَ الدَّارِ الشَّابَّ لَيُهِمُّهُ الرُّجُوعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ. قَالَ: فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ، وَاحْتُبِسَ الرُّكْبَانُ، فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ سُرْعَةِ مَلَالَةِ ابْنِ آدَمَ. وَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا» فَتَكَشَّطَتْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ.
Translation
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Ḥumayd said: Anas was asked whether the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ used to raise his hands [in supplication]. He replied: “On a Friday, someone said to him [during the sermon]: ‘O Messenger of Allah, the rains have stopped, the land has dried up, and the livestock are perishing.’ He raised his hands until I could see the whiteness of his armpits, and prayed for rain. At that moment there was not a single cloud in the sky. Yet by the time we had finished the [Friday] prayer, the rain was so heavy that even a young man whose home was nearby found it difficult to get back to his family. The following Friday, people said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, our houses have been ruined and the travelers are stranded.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ smiled at how quickly the son of Adam grows weary, and said: ‘O Allah, let it rain around us and not upon us.’ And the clouds dispersed from above Madīnah.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 106
