حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ نِزَارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مَبْرُورٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ شَكَى النَّاسُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قُحُوطَ الْمَطَرِ فَأَمَرَ بِمِنْبَرٍ فَوُضِعَ لَهُ فِي الْمُصَلَّى وَوَعَدَ النَّاسَ يَوْمًا يَخْرُجُونَ فِيهِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ بَدَا حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَقَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَكَبَّرَ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ " إِنَّكُمْ شَكَوْتُمْ جَدْبَ دِيَارِكُمْ وَاسْتِئْخَارَ الْمَطَرِ عَنْ إِبَّانِ زَمَانِهِ عَنْكُمْ وَقَدْ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ تَدْعُوهُ وَوَعَدَكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَجِيبَ لَكُمْ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ " { الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ * الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ * مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ } لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الْغَنِيُّ وَنَحْنُ الْفُقَرَاءُ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا الْغَيْثَ وَاجْعَلْ مَا أَنْزَلْتَ لَنَا قُوَّةً وَبَلاَغًا إِلَى حِينٍ " . ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ فِي الرَّفْعِ حَتَّى بَدَا بَيَاضُ إِبْطَيْهِ ثُمَّ حَوَّلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ ظَهْرَهُ وَقَلَّبَ أَوْ حَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ وَهُوَ رَافِعٌ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَنَزَلَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَأَنْشَأَ اللَّهُ سَحَابَةً فَرَعَدَتْ وَبَرَقَتْ ثُمَّ أَمْطَرَتْ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَأْتِ مَسْجِدَهُ حَتَّى سَالَتِ السُّيُولُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى سُرْعَتَهُمْ إِلَى الْكِنِّ ضَحِكَ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ فَقَالَ " أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ إِسْنَادُهُ جَيِّدٌ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ يَقْرَءُونَ { مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ } وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ حُجَّةٌ لَهُمْ .

Harun ibn Saʿid al-Ayli narrated to us: Khalid ibn Nizar narrated to us: al-Qasim ibn Mabarrur narrated to me, from Yunus, from Hisham ibn ʿUrwah, from his father, from ʿAishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: The people complained to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about the drought and lack of rain. He ordered a pulpit to be placed for him at the prayer ground and promised the people a day on which they would come out. ʿAishah said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out when the sun’s edge appeared and sat on the pulpit. He said takbir and praised Allah, Mighty and Majestic, then said: ‘You have complained of drought in your homes and that rain has been delayed beyond the beginning of its season. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has commanded you to supplicate to Him and promised you that He will answer you.’
Then he said: ‘Praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds, the Compassionate, the Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment. There is no deity but Allah; He does what He wills. O Allah, You are Allah; there is no deity but You. You are the Self-Sufficient, and we are the poor. Send down rain upon us, and make what You send down a strength and provision for us for a time.’
Then he raised his hands and kept them raised until the whiteness of his armpits appeared. Then he turned his back to the people and flipped—or turned—his cloak while keeping his hands raised. Then he faced the people, descended, and prayed two rakʿahs. Allah formed a cloud, and it thundered and flashed with lightning. Then it rained by Allah’s permission. Before he reached his mosque, torrents were flowing. When he saw how quickly they were seeking shelter, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) laughed until his molars showed and said: ‘I bear witness that Allah has power over all things, and that I am Allah’s servant and Messenger.’ Abu Dawud said: ‘This is a rare hadith with a good chain. The people of Medina recite “Master of the Day of Judgment” with malik, and this hadith is evidence for them.’
