Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَقِيرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَوَاكِي فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثًا مُغِيثًا مَرِيئًا مَرِيعاً نَافِعًا غَيْرَ ضَارٍّ عَاجِلاً غَيْرَ آجِلٍ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ ‏.‏

Ibn Abi Khalaf narrated to us: Muhammad ibn ʿUbayd narrated to us: Misʿar narrated to us, from Yazid al-Faqir, from Jabir ibn ʿAbd Allah, who said: ‘People came to the Prophet (ﷺ) weeping. He said: “O Allah, send us rain that brings relief, abundant, nourishing, fertile, and beneficial, not harmful; soon, not later.”’ He said: ‘Then the sky opened over them.’
