Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for rain, while he was wearing a black cloak. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to take hold of its lower part and raise it upwards, but when this became difficult, he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned (the upper part of it) instead, that is, he placed the right side on the left and the left side on the right.
