Narrated Anas: Once during the lifetime of Allah Messenger ﷺ ; the people of Medina suffered from drought. So while the Prophet was delivering a sermon on a Friday a man got up saying; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! The horses and sheep have perished. Will you invoke Allah to bless us with rain? The Prophet ﷺ lifted both his hands and invoked. The sky at that time was as clear as glass. Suddenly a wind blew; raising clouds that gathered together; and it started raining heavily. We came out of the Masjid wading through the flowing water till we reached our homes. It went on raining till the next Friday; when the same man or some other man stood up and said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! The houses have collapsed; please invoke Allah to withhold the rain. On that the Prophet ﷺ smiled and said; O Allah; let it rain around us and not on us. I then looked at the clouds to see them separating forming a sort of a crown round Medina.
