Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) also narrates that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a cloud rising from any horizon of the sky, he would leave his work, even if he was performing prayer, and would say: O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the evil that is in it. Then if Allah the Exalted cleared it away, he would praise Him, and if it began to rain, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: O Allah! Send down beneficial rain.
