Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ بَرَكَةَ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ اسْتَسْقَى حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ - أَوْ رُؤِيَ - بَيَاضُ إِبْطَيْهِ . قَالَ مُعْتَمِرٌ أُرَاهُ فِي الاِسْتِسْقَاءِ .
Translation
Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Affan narrated to us; Mu‘tamir narrated to us, from his father, from Barakah, from Bashir ibn Nahik, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for rain until I saw—or it was seen—the whiteness of his armpits. Mu‘tamir said, ‘I think this was concerning the prayer for rain.’
