Narrated Anas: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to make supplication for rain in this manner. he spread his hands keeping the inner side (of hands) towards the earth, so I witnessed the whiteness of his armpits.

Narrated Muhammad bin Ibrahim: A man who witnessed the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم reported to me that he saw the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم praying at Ahjar al-Zait spreading his hands.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The people complained to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم of the lack of rain, so he gave an order for a pulpit. It was then set up for him in the place of prayer. He fixed a day for the people on which they should come out. Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , when the rim of the sun appeared, sat down on the pulpit, and having pronounced the greatness of Allah and expressed His praise, he said: You have complained of drought in your homes, and of the delay in receiving rain at the beginning of its season. Allah has ordered you to supplicate Him has and promised that He will answer your prayer. Then he said: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe, the Compassionate, the Merciful, the Master of the Day of Judgment. There is no god but Allah Who does what He wishes. O Allah, Thou art Allah, there is no deity but Thou, the Rich, while we are the poor. Send down the rain upon us and make what Thou sendest down a strength and satisfaction for a time. He then raised his hands, and kept raising them till the whiteness under his armpits was visible. He then turned his back to the people and inverted or turned round his cloak while keeping his hands aloft. He then faced the people, descended and prayed two rak'ahs. Allah then produced a cloud, and the storm of thunder and lightning came on. Then the rain fell by Allah's permission, and before he reached his mosque streams were flowing. When he saw the speed with which the people were seeking shelter, he صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم laughed till his back teeth were visible. Then he said: I testify that Allah is Omnipotent and that I am Allah's servant and Messenger. Abu Dawud said: This is a ghraib (rate) tradition, but its chain is sound. The people of Madina recite "maliki" (instead of maaliki) yawm al-din" (the master of the Day of Judgement). But this tradition (in which the word maalik occurs) is an evidence for them.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The people of Madina had a drought during the time of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . While he was preaching on a Friday, a man stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, the horses have perished, the goats have perished, pray to Allah to give us water. He spread his hands and prayed. Anas said: The sky was like a mirror (there was no cloud). Then the wind rose; a cloud appeared (in the sky) and it spread: the sky poured down the water. We came out (from the mosque after the prayer) passing through the water till we reached our homes. The rain continued till the following Friday. The same or some other person stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, the houses have been demolished, pray to Allah to stop it. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم smiled and said: (O Allah), the rain may fall around us but not upon us. Then I looked at the cloud which dispersed around Madina just like a crown.

Narrated The above mentioned tradition has been narrated by Anas through a different chain of transmitters: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم raised his hands in front of his face and said: O Allah! Give us water. the narrator then reported then reported the tradition like the former.

Narrated Amr bin Suhaib: On his father's authority, quoted his grandfather as saying: When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم prayed for rain, he said: O Allah! Provide water for Your servants and Your cattle, display Your mercy and give life to Your dead land. This is the wording of Malik.

Narrated Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her): There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . The Prophet stood for a long time, accompanied by the people. He then bowed, then raised his head, then he bowed and then he raised his head, and again he bowed and prayed two rak'ahs of prayer. In each rak'ah he bowed three times. After bowing for the third time he prostrated himself. He stood for such a long time that some people became unconscious on that occasion and buckets of water had to be poured on them. When he bowed, he said, Allah is most great; and when he raised his head, he said, Allah listens to him who praises Him, till the sun became bright. then he said: The sun and the moon are not eclipsed on account of anyone's death or on account of anyone's birth, but they are two of Allah's signs, He produces dread in His servants by means of them. When they are eclipsed, hasten to prayer

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah: There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had died. The people began to to say that there was an eclipse on account of the death of Ibrahim. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stood up and led the people in prayer performing six bowings and four prostrations. he said: Allah is most great, and then recited from the Quran and prolonged the recitation. He then bowed nearly as long as he stood. He then raised his head and recited from the Quran but it was less than the first (recitation). He then bowed nearly as long as he stood. He then raised his head and then recited from the Quran for the third time, but it was less than the second recitation. He then bowed nearly as long as he stood. he then raised his head and then recited from the Quran for the third time, but it was less than the second recitation. he then bowed nearly as long as he stood. Then he raised his head and went down for prostration. he made two prostrations. He then stood and made three bowings before prostrating himself, the preceding bowing being more lengthy than the following, but he bowed nearly as long as he stood. He then stepped back during the prayer and the rows (of the people) too stepped back along with him. Then he stepped forward and stood in his place, and the rows too stepped forward. he then finished the prayer and the sun had become bright. He said: O people, the sun and the moon are two of Allah's signs; they are not eclipsed on account of a man's death. So when you see anything of that nature, offer prayer until the sun becomes bright. The narrator then narrated the rest of the tradition.

Narrated Jabir: There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم on a hot day. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم led his Companions in prayer and prolonged the standing until the people began to fall down. He then bowed and prolonged it; then he raised his head and prolonged (the stay); then he bowed and prolonged it; then he raised his head and prolonged (the stay); then he made two prostrations and then stood up; then he did in the same manner. He thus performed four bowings and four prostrations. Then the narrator narrated the rest of the tradition.

Narrated Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her): There was an eclipse of the sun during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came tot he mosque; he stood up and uttered the takbir (Allah is great); the people stood in rows behind him; the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم recited from the Quran for a long time; then he uttered the takbir (Allah is most great) and performed bowing for a long time, then he raised his head and said: Allah listens to him who praises Him; our Lord, and to Thee be praise; then he stood up and recited from the Quran for a long time, but it was less than the first (recitation); he then bowed for a long time, but it was less than the first bowing; he then said, Allah listens to him who praises Him; our Lord, and to Thee be praise. he then did so in the second rak'ah. he thus completed four bowings and four prostrations. The sun had become bright before he departed.
