Arabic hadith text

وَعَن عُمَيْر مولى آبي اللَّحْم أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَسْقِي عِنْدَ أَحْجَارِ الزَّيْتِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ الزَّوْرَاءِ قَائِمًا يَدْعُو يَسْتَسْقِي رَافِعًا يَدَيْهِ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ لَا يُجَاوِزُ بِهِمَا رَأْسَهُ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وروى التِّرْمِذِيّ وَالنَّسَائِيّ نَحوه

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Umayr, the client of Abi al-Lahm, said: He saw the Prophet seeking rain at the Stones of al-Zayt, near al-Zawra. He was standing and supplicating, seeking rain, and raising his hands in front of his face without lifting them above his head.

Abu Dawud transmitted it; al-Tirmidhi and al-Nasai transmitted something similar.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The English witness supplies explanatory footnotes for the place names, which are not part of this Arabic block.

  • عِنْدَ أَحْجَارِ الزَّيْتِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ الزَّوْرَاءِ

    These are specific place names. Their explanatory identifications occur only in the English witness, not in this Arabic source block.

    Should the transliterated names be linked to separately verified place references?
