Anas ibn Malik reported: A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on Friday while he was delivering a sermon in Medina. The man said, “There is no rain, so please call upon your Lord to bless us with rain.” The Prophet looked at the sky when there were no clouds, and he called upon Allah for rain. Clouds started gathering together, and it rained until the valleys of Medina were flowing with water. It continued raining until the following Friday. Then, another man stood up while the Prophet delivered a sermon and said, “We are drowning, so please call upon your Lord to withhold it from us.” The Prophet smiled, and he said three times, “O Allah, let it rain around us and not upon us.” The clouds started dispersing over Medina to the right and left, and it rained around Medina and not upon Medina. Allah showed them the miracle of His Prophet and His answer to his supplication.
