Sunan an-Nasa'i 1527

‘Ali ibn Hujr narrated to us; he said: Isma‘il narrated to us; he said: Humayd narrated to us, from Anas, who said: There was a year of drought without rain. On a Friday, some Muslims went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allah, there has been no rain, the land has become barren, and our property is perishing.” He raised his hands, though we could see no cloud in the sky, and stretched them out until I saw the whiteness of his armpits as he supplicated Allah, Mighty and Sublime, for rain. By the time we had finished the Friday prayer, even the young man whose home was nearby was concerned about returning to his family. The rain continued for a week. On the following Friday, they said, “O Messenger of Allah, houses have collapsed and travelers are held up.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled at how quickly the children of Adam grow weary, and gestured with his hands, saying, “O Allah, around us, not upon us.” The rain then dispersed away from Medina.
