وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا
قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِذَا أَبْصَرْنَا شَيْئًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ تَعْنِي السَّحَابَ تَرَكَ عَمَلَهُ وَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ وَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ» فَإِنْ كَشَفَهُ حَمِدَ الله وَإِن مطرَت قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ سَقْيًا نَافِعًا»
Aishah said that when the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saw something rising in the sky, meaning clouds, he left what he was doing, faced them and said, “O God, I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what they contain.” If God cleared them away he praised Him, and if rain fell he said, “O God, give a beneficial fall.” Abu Dawud, Nasai, Ibn Majah and Shafii transmitted it, the wording being Shafii’s.
