Invoking Allah for Rain (Istisqaa)
كتاب الاستسقاء
Read the English translation first, with the original Arabic directly underneath.
If the people request the Imam to invoke Allah for rain, the Imam should not refuse
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A man came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! Livestock are destroyed and the roads are cut off. So please invoke Allah." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed and it rained from that Friday to the next Friday. Then he came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! Houses have collapsed, roads are cut off and the livestock are destroyed." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed, "O Allah! (Let it rain) on the tops of mountains, on the plateaus, in the valleys and over the places where trees grow." So the clouds cleared away from Medina as clothes are taken off.
اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ وَالآكَامِ وَبُطُونِ الأَوْدِيَةِ وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ
