Whenever drought threatened them, ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab, used to ask Al-Abbas bin ‘Abdul Mut –
talib 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.

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 des –
troyed. 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 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 live –
stock 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 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.

Volume 2, Book 15, Number 74:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, “Whoever slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the ‘Id prayer, should slaughter
again.” A man stood up and said, “This is the day on which one has desire for meat,” and he men –
tioned something about his neighbors. It seemed that the Prophet I believed him. Then the same man
added, “I have a young she-goat which is dearer to me than the meat of two sheep.” The Prophet per –
mitted him to slaughter it as a sacrifice. I do not know whether that permission was valid only for
him or for others as well.
