Anas b. Malik reported: The people were in the grip of famine during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), and (once) as the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) was delivering the sermon standing on the pulpit on Friday, a bedouin stood up and said: Messenger of Allaah, the animals died and the children suffered starvation. The rest of the hadith is the same (and the words are) that he (the Prophet) said: O Allaah, send down rain in our suburbs but not on us. He (the narrator) said: To whichever directions he pointed with his hands, the clouds broke up and I saw Medina like the opening of a (courtyard) and the stream of Qanat flowed for one month, and none came from any part (of Arabia) but with the news of heavy rainfall. |
