| Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Book 17: Invoking Allah for Rain (Istisqaa) Volume 2, Book 17, Number 119:
Narrated 'Abbas bin Tamim's uncle:
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) went out to offer the Istisqa' prayer and turned (and put on)
his cloak inside out.
Volume 2, Book 17, Number 120:
Narrated Abu Huraira;
Whenever the Prophet (p.b.u.h) lifted his head from the bowing in the last Raka he
used to say: "O Allah! Save 'Aiyash bin Abi Rabi'a. O Allah! Save Salama bin
Hisham. O Allah! Save Walid bin Walid. O Allah! Save the weak faithful believers.
O Allah! Be hard on the tribes of Mudar and send (famine) years on them like the
famine years of (Prophet) Joseph ." The Prophet further said, "Allah forgive the
tribes of Ghifar and save the tribes of Aslam." Abu Az-Zinad (a sub-narrator) said,
"The Qunut used to be recited by the Prophet in the Fajr prayer."
Volume 2, Book 17, Number 121:
Narrated Masruq:
We were with 'Abdullah and he said, "When the Prophet saw the refusal of the
people to accept Islam he said, "O Allah! Send (famine) years on them for (seven
years) like the seven years (of famine during the time) of (Prophet) Joseph." So
famine overtook them for one year and destroyed every kind of life to such an
extent that the people started eating hides, carcasses and rotten dead animals.
Whenever one of them looked towards the sky, he would (imagine himself to) see
smoke because of hunger. So Abu Sufyan went to the Prophet and said, "O
Muhammad! You order people to obey Allah and to keep good relations with kith
and kin. No doubt the people of your tribe are dying, so please pray to Allah for
them." So Allah revealed: "Then watch you For the day that The sky will bring
forth a kind Of smoke Plainly visible ... Verily! You will return (to disbelief) On the
day when We shall seize You with a mighty grasp. (44.10-16) Ibn Masud added,
"Al-Batsha (i.e. grasp) happened in the battle of Badr and no doubt smoke,
Al-Batsha, Al-Lizam, and the verse of Surat Ar-Rum have all passed .
Volume 2, Book 17, Number 122:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Dinar:
My father said, "I heard Ibn 'Umar reciting the poetic verses of Abu Talib: And a
white (person) (i.e. the Prophet) who is requested to pray for rain and who takes
care of the orphans and is the guardian of widows." Salim's father (Ibn 'Umar) said,
"The following poetic verse occurred to my mind while I was looking at the face of
the Prophet (p.b.u.h) while he was praying for rain. He did not get down till the rain
water flowed profusely from every roof-g utter: And a white (person) who is
requested to pray for rain and who takes care of the orphans and is the guardian of
2
widows . . . And these were the words of Abu Talib."
Volume 2, Book 17, Number 123:
Narrated Anas:
Whenever drought threatened them, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, used to ask Al-Abbas
bin 'Abdul Muttalib to invoke Allah for rain. He used to say, "O Allah! We used to
ask our Prophet to invoke You for rain, and You would bless us with rain, and now
we ask his uncle to invoke You for rain. O Allah ! Bless us with rain."(1) And so it
would rain.

The Prophet turned his cloak inside out on Istisqa.
Volume 2, Book 17, Number 125:

Volume 2, Book 17, Number 126:
Narrated Sharik bin 'Abdullah bin Abi Namir:
I heard Anas bin Malik saying, "On a Friday a person entered the main Mosque
through the gate facing the pulpit while Allah's Apostle was delivering the Khutba.
The man stood in front of Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! The
livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; so please pray to Allah for rain.' "
Anas added, "Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah!
Bless us with rain! O Allah! Bless us with rain! O Allah! Bless us with rain!' " Anas
added, "By Allah, we could not see any trace of cloud in the sky and there was no
building or a house between us and (the mountains of) Sila." Anas added, "A heavy
cloud like a shield appeared from behind it (i.e. Sila' Mountain). When it came in
the middle of the sky, it spread and then rained." Anas further said, "By Allah! We
could not see the sun for a week. Next Friday a person entered through the same
gate and at that time Allah's Apostle was delivering the Friday's Khutba. The man
stood in front of him and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! The livestock are dying and the
roads are cut off, please pray to Allah to with-hold rain.' " Anas added, "Allah's
Apostle I raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Round about us and not on us. O
Allah! On the plateaus, on the mountains, on the hills, in the valleys and on the
places where trees grow.' So the rain stopped and we came out walking in the sun."
Sharik asked Anas whether it was the same person who had asked for the rain (the
last Friday). Anas replied that he did not know.
Volume 2, Book 17, Number 127:
Narrated Sharik:
Anas bin Malik said, "A person entered the Mosque on a Friday through the gate
facing the Daril-Qada' and Allah's Apostle was standing delivering the Khutba
3
(sermon). The man stood in front of Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle,
livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; please pray to Allah for rain.' So
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Bless us with
rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain. O Allah! Bless us with rain!" Anas added, "By
Allah, there were no clouds in the sky and there was no house or building between
us and the mountain of Silas'. Then a big cloud like a shield appeared from behind it
(i.e. Silas Mountain) and when it came in the middle of the sky, it spread and then
rained. By Allah! We could not see the sun for a week. The next Friday, a person
entered through the same gate and Allah's Apostle was delivering the Friday Khutba
and the man stood in front of him and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! The livestock are
dying and the roads are cut off; Please pray to Allah to withhold rain.' " Anas added,
"Allah's Apostle raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Round about us and not
on us. O Allah!' On the plateaus, on the mountains, on the hills, in the valleys and
on the places where trees grow.' " Anas added, "The rain stopped and we came out,
walking in the sun." Sharik asked Anas whether it was the same person who had
asked for rain the previous Friday. Anas replied that he did not know.

Narrated Qatada:
Anas I said, "While Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) was delivering the Friday Khutba
(sermon) a man came and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Rain is scarce; please ask Allah
to bless us with rain.' So he invoked Allah for it, and it rained so much that we
could hardly reach our homes and it continued raining till the next Friday." Anas
further said, "Then the same or some other person stood up and said, 'O Allah's
Apostle! Invoke Allah to withhold the rain.' On that, Allah's Apostle I said, 'O
Allah! Round about us and not on us.' " Anas added, "I saw the clouds dispersing
right and left and it continued to rain but not over Medina."
Volume 2, Book 17, Number 129:
Narrated Anas:
A man came to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and said, "Livestock are destroyed and the
roads are cut off." So Allah's Apostle invoked Allah for rain and it rained from that
Friday till the next Friday. The same person came again and said, "Houses have
collapsed, roads are cut off, and the livestock are destroyed. Please pray to Allah to
withhold the rain." Allah's Apostle (stood up and) said, "O Allah! (Let it rain) on the
plateaus, on the hills, in the valleys and over the places where trees grow." So the
clouds cleared away from Medina as clothes are taken off .
Volume 2, Book 17, Number 130:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Livestock are

the livestock are destroyed." So Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) 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
4
off.

Volume 2, Book 17, Number 133:
Narrated Masruq:
One day I went to Ibn Masud who said, "When Quraish delayed in embracing
Islam, the Prophet I invoked Allah to curse them, so they were afflicted with a
(famine) year because of which many of them died and they ate the carcasses and
Abu Sufyan came to the Prophet and said, 'O Muhammad! You came to order
people to keep good relation with kith and kin and your nation is being destroyed,
so invoke Allah I ? So the Prophet I recited the Holy verses of Sirat-Ad-Dukhan:
'Then watch you For the day that The sky will Bring forth a kind Of smoke Plainly
visible.' (44.10) When the famine was taken off, the people renegade once again as
nonbelievers. The statement of Allah, (in Sura "Ad-Dukhan"-44) refers to that: 'On
the day when We shall seize You with a mighty grasp.' (44.16) And that was what
happened on the day of the battle of Badr." Asbath added on the authority of
Mansur, "Allah's Apostle prayed for them and it rained heavily for seven days. So
the people complained of the excessive rain. The Prophet said, 'O Allah! (Let it
rain) around us and not on us.' So the clouds dispersed over his head and it rained
over the surroundings."
Volume 2, Book 17, Number 134:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle I was delivering the Khutba (sermon) on a Friday when the people
stood up, shouted and said, "O Allah's Apostle! There is no rain (drought), the trees
have dried and the livestock are destroyed; Please pray to Allah for rain." So Allah's
Apostle said twice, "O Allah! Bless us with rain." By Allah, there was no trace of
cloud in the sky and suddenly the sky became overcast with clouds and it started
raining. The Prophet came down the pulpit and offered the prayer. When he came
back from the prayer (to his house) it was raining and it rained continuously till the
5
next Friday. When the Prophet started delivering the Friday Khutba (sermon), the
people started shouting and said to him, "The houses have collapsed and the roads
are cut off; so please pray to Allah to withhold the rain." So the Prophet smiled and
said, "O Allah! Round about us and not on us." So the sky became clear over
Medina but it kept on raining over the outskirts (of Medina) and not a single drop of
rain fell over Median. I looked towards the sky which was as bright and clear as a
crown.

Friday, a Bedouin stood up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! The livestock are dying
and the families (offspring) are hungry: please pray to Allah to bless us with rain."
Allah's Apostle raised both his hands towards the sky and at that time there was not
a trace of cloud in they sky. Then the clouds started gathering like mountains.
Before he got down from the pulpit I saw rain-water trickling down his beard. It
rained that day, the next day, the third day, the fourth day and till the next Friday,
when the same Bedouin or some other person stood up (during the Friday Khutba)
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! The houses have collapsed and the livestock are
drowned. Please invoke Allah for us." So Allah's Apostle raised both his hands and
said, "O Allah! Around us and not on us." Whichever side the Prophet directed his
hand, the clouds dispersed from there till a hole (in the clouds) was formed over
Medina. The valley of Qanat remained flowing (with water) for one month and
none, came from outside who didn't talk about the abundant rain.
