وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ

قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّجُمُعَةٍ مِنْ بَابٍ كَانَ نَحْوَ دَارِ الْقَضَاءِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمٌ يَخْطُبُ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَكَتِ الأَمْوَالُ وَانْقَطَعَتِ السُّبُلُ فَادْعُ اللَّهِ يُغِثْنَا.

قَالَ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ أَغِثْنَا اللَّهُمَّ أَغِثْنَا اللَّهُمَّ أَغِثْنَا».

قَالَ أَنَسٌ وَلَا وَاللَّهِ مَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ مِنْ سَحَابٍ وَلَا قَزَعَةٍ وَمَا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ سَلْعٍ مِنْ بَيْتٍ وَلَا دَارٍ (قَالَ) فَطَلَعَتْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ سَحَابَةٌ مِثْلُ التُّرْسِ فَلَمَّا تَوَسَّطَتِ السَّمَاءَ انْتَشَرَتْ ثُمَّ أَمْطَرَتْ (قَالَ) فَلَا وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْنَا الشَّمْسَ سَبْتًا (قَالَ) ثُمَّ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْبَابِ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ الْمُقْبِلَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمٌ يَخْطُبُ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ قَائِمًا فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَكَتِ الأَمْوَالُ وَانْقَطَعَتِ السُّبُلُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكْهَا عَنَّا (قَالَ) فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ حَوْلَنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى الآكَامِ وَالظِّرَابِ وَبُطُونِ الأَوْدِيَةِ وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ».

فَانْقَلَعَتْ وَخَرَجْنَا نَمْشِي فِي الشَّمْسِ. قَالَ شَرِيكٌ فَسَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ الأَوَّلُ قَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي

A person entered the mosque through the door situated on theside of Daral-Qada during Friday (prayer) and the messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was delivering the sermon while standing. He came and stood in front of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and said: Messenger of Allah, the camels died and the passages were blocked; so supplicate Allah to send down rain upon us.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) raised his hands and then said: (O Allah, send down rain upon us; O Allah, send dowp rain upon us; O Allah, send down rain upon us. Anas said: By Allah, we did not see any cloud or any patch of it, and there was neither any house or building standing between us and the (hillock) Sala.

There appeared a cloud in the shape of a shield from behind it, and as it (came high) in the sky it spread and then there was a downpour of rain. By Allah, we did not see the sun throughout the week. Then (that very man) came on the coming Friday through the same door when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was standing and delivering the sermon.

He stood in front of him and said: Messenger of Allah, our animals died and the passages blocked. Supplicate Allah to stop the rain for us. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) again raised his hands and said: O Allah, let it (rain) fall in our suburbs and not on us, O Allah (send it down) on the hillocks and small mountains and the river-beds and at places where trees grow.

The rain stopped, and as we stepped out we were walking in sun- shine. He (the narrator) said to Sharik: I asked Anas ibn Malik if he was the same man. He said: I do not know.

যুহারর ইবনু হারব, উসমান ইবনু আবূ শাইবাহ ও ইসহাক ইবনু ইবরাহীম (রহঃ) ..... 'আবদুল্লাহ (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমরা রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম এর পিছনে সালাত আদায় করার সময় (বৈঠকে) বলতাম, আল্লাহর উপর সালাম হোক, অমুকের উপর শান্তি বর্ষিত হোক, একদিন রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম আমাদের বললেনঃ বস্তুত আল্লাহ নিজেই সালাম (শান্তিদাতা)।

অতএব তোমাদের কেউ যখন সালাতে বসে সে যেন বলে, "আত্তাহিয়াতু লিল্লা-হি ওয়াস্ সলাওয়া-তু ওয়াত তাইয়িবা-তু আসসালা-মু 'আলাইকা আইয়ুহান নাবিইয়্যু ওয়া রহমাতুল্ল-হি ওয়াবারাকুহু আসসালা-মু 'আলাইনা- ওয়া'আলা- ইবা-দিল্লা-হিস্ স-লিহীন" অর্থাৎ "যাবতীয় মান-মর্যাদা, প্রশংসা ও পবিত্রতা আল্লাহর জন্য। হে নবী! আপনার উপর শান্তি, আল্লাহর রহমত ও বারাকাত অবতীর্ণ হোক।

আমাদের এবং আল্লাহর নেক বান্দাদের উপর শান্তি নেমে আসুক।” যখন সে এ কথাগুলো বলে, তখন তা আল্লাহর প্রতিটি নেক বান্দার কাছে পৌছে যায়, সে আসমানে বা জমিনেই থাক। (অতঃপর বলবে) "আশ্বহাদু আল লা-ইলা-হা ইল্লাল্ল-হু ওয়া আশ্‌হাদু আন্না মুহাম্মাদান আবদুহু ওয়ারসূলুহু" অর্থাৎ “আমি সাক্ষ্য দিচ্ছি, আল্লাহ ছাড়া কোন সত্য ইলাহ নেই।

আমি আরো সাক্ষ্য দিচ্ছি, মুহাম্মাদ তার বান্দা ও রাসূল।" অতঃপর সালাত আদায়কারী তার ইচ্ছানুযায়ী যে কোন দু'আ পড়তে পারে।

۔ جریر نے منصور سے ، انہوں نے ابو وائل سے اور انہوں نے حضرت عبد اللہ ( بن مسعود ) ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی ، انہوں نے کہا : ہم نماز میں رسول اللہﷺ کے پیچھے کہتے تھے : اللہ پر سلام ہو ، فلاں پر سلام ہو ۔ ( بخاری کی روایت میں جبریل پر میکائیل پر سلام ہو ۔ ) تو ایک دن رسول اللہﷺ نے ہم سے فرمایا : ’’بلاشبہ اللہ خود سلام ہے ، لہٰذا جب تم میں سے کوئی نماز میں بیٹھے تو کہے : بقا وبادشاہت ، اختیار وعظمت اللہ ہی کےلیے ہے ، اور ساری دعائیں اور ساری پاکیزہ چیزیں ( بھی اسی کےلیے ہیں ) ، اے نبی!

آپ پر سلام ہو اور اللہ کی رحمت اور اس کی برکتیں ہوں ۔ ہم پر اور اللہ کے نیک بندوں پر سلام ہو ۔ جب کوئی شخص یہ ( دعائیہ ) کلمات کہے گا تو یہ آسمان و زمین میں اللہ کے ہر نیک بندے تک پہنچیں گے ۔ ( پھر کہے : ) میں گواہی دیتا ہوں کہ اللہ کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں اور میں گواہی دیتا ہوں کہ محمد اس کےبندے اور رسول ہیں ، پھر جو مانگنا چاہے اس کا انتخاب کر لے ۔ ‘ ‘

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zuhair bin Harb], [Utsman bin Abi Syaibah] dan [Ishaq bin Ibrahim] [Ishaq] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami sedangkan dua orang yang lainnya berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Jarir] dari [Manshur] dari [Abu Wail] dari [Abdullah] dia berkata, "Kami dahulu mengucapkan dalam shalat di belakang Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam, 'Semoga keselamatan atas Allah, semoga keselamatan atas fulan.'

Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda kepada kami pada suatu hari, ' Allah adalah Maha selamat, apabila salah seorang dari kalian duduk dalam shalat, maka ucapkanlah, 'Attahiyyat Lillah wa ash-Shalawat wa ath-Thayyibat, assalamu alaika, ayyuha an-Nabiyyu Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu, assalamu'alaina wa ala ibadillahishshaalihin.

(Segala penghormatan bagi Allah, shalawat dan juga kebaikan. Semoga keselamatan terlimpahkan kepadamu wahai Nabi dan juga rahmat dan berkahnya. Semoga keselamatan terlimpahkan atas kami dan hamba Allah yang shalih) '. -Apabila dia mengucapkannya maka doa itu akan mengenai setiap hamba shalih di langit dan bumu- Saya bersaksi bahwa tidak ada tuhan yang berhak disembah selain Allah, dan saya bersaksi bahwa Muhammad adalah hamba dan utusan Allah, ' kemudian dia memilih permintaan doa yang dia kehendaki.

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin al-Mutsanna] dan [Ibnu Basysyar] keduanya berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ja'far] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Manshur] dengan isnad ini semisalnya, dan dia tidak menyebutkan, "Kemudian dia memilih permintaan doa yang dia kehendaki." Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abd bin Humaid] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Husain al-Ju'fi] dari [Zaidah] dari [Manshur] dengan isnad ini semisal hadits keduanya, kemudia dia menyebutkan dalam hadits tersebut, "Kemudian hendaklah dia memilih setelah itu permintaan doa yang dia kehendaki atau dia inginkan."

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Yahya] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abu Muawiyah] dari [al-A'masy] dari [Syaqiq] dari [Abdullah bin Mas'ud] dia berkata, "Dahulu kami apabila duduk-duduk bersama Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dalam shalat" seperti hadits Manshur, dan dia berkata, 'Kemudian dia memilih setelah itu sebagian dari doa'."

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakar bin Abi Syaibah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Nu'aim] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Saif bin Sulaiman] dia berkata, saya mendengar [Mujahid] berkata, telah menceritakan kepadaku [Abdullah bin Sakhbarah] dia berkata, saya mendengar [Ibnu Mas'ud] berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengajarkan kepadaku tasyahhud, pundakku di antara pundaknya, sebagaimana beliau mengajarkan suatu surat al-Qur'an." Lalu dia menceritakan tasyahhud seperti tasyahhud yang mereka kisahkan

Bize Zuheyr b. Harb ile Osman b. Ebî Şeybe ve îshâk b. İbrahim rivayet ettiler. İshâk bize haber verdi tâbirini kullandı. Ötekiler; Bize Cerîr Mansur'dan, o da Ebu Vâil'den, o da Abdullah'dan naklen rivayet etti, dediler. Abdullah şunu söylemiş: Biz Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in arkasında namaz kılarken «Allah'a selam, filan’a selam» derdik.

Bir gün Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) bize şunları söyledi: «Hiç şüphe yok ki; selam Allah’ın kendisidir. Binaenaleyh biriniz namazda oturduğu vakit; Bütün tehiyyeler, salavat ve tayyibat Allah'adır selam sana ey Nebiy Allah'ın rahmet ve bereketleri de senin üzerine olsun. Selâm bize ve Allah'ın sâlih kullarına!... [Ettehiyatu lillahi ve's-Salevatu ve't-Tayyibatu es-Selamu aleyke eyyuhe'n-Nebiyyu ve Rahmetullâhi ve berekâtuhû es-Selâmu aleyna ve alâ ibadillâhi's-Salihîn ] desin Çünkü bunu Dedikii, bu söz gökte ve yerde Allah'ın her salih kuluna isabet eder Bundan sonra; Ben Allahtan başka ilâh olmadığına şahadet ederim.

Ben Muhammed'in Allah'ın kulu ve Resulü olduğuna da şahadet ederim: [ Eşhedu en la ilahe illallah ve Eşhedu enne Muhammeden abduhu ve Resuluhu ] (desin) bundan sonra dilediğini istemekte muhayyerdir

What it means

A Bedouin entered the Prophet's Mosque on a Friday through a gate on the west side of the mosque, facing the house of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him), while the Prophet (ﷺ) was standing and delivering the sermon.

The man faced the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: O Messenger of Allah, the livestock have perished, and the roads have been cut off because the animals that carry people have died or grown too weak from hunger. So pray to Allah to send us rain.

So, he (ﷺ) raised his hands and said: O Allah, send us rain. O Allah, send us rain. O Allah, send us rain. Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah, we could not see even a small patch of cloud in the sky, and between us in the mosque and Mount Sal‘—to the west of the mosque, from where clouds usually come—no house or building was obstructing our view.

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then a cloud rose from behind it, round like a shield—a small disc—and when it reached the middle of the sky over Madīnah, it spread out and then began to rain. By Allah, we did not see the sun because of the rain until the following Friday, when that man entered through the same gate while the Prophet (ﷺ) was standing and delivering the sermon.

The man faced him and said: O Messenger of Allah, the properties have perished, and the routes have been cut off, so pray to Allah to withhold the rain from us. He said: So the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his hands and said: O Allah, let the rain fall around us and not upon us. O Allah, on the highlands, the small mountains, the valleys, and the places where trees grow. Anas said: The rain cloud dispersed, and we went out walking in the sunlight.

What it teaches

  • Taking the means to seek provision—such as supplication and traveling through the land—does not contradict reliance on Allah Almighty.
  • It is recommended to say this Prophetic supplication when seeking rain.
  • It is permissible to pray for clear weather—asking for the rain to stop—when the rain causes harm. The Prophet (ﷺ) specified that the rain remain on the hills, small mountains, and valleys because these areas are more suitable for farming and grazing.
  • It is permissible to ask for supplication from those who are thought to be righteous and pious among the living who are present—this is a permissible form of Tawassul (seeking means to Allah). However, Tawassul through the status or rank of any created being, whether living or dead, is not permissible, as it is one of the means leading to Shirk.
  • The legitimacy of showing persistence in supplication and repeating it.
  • It is permissible to speak to the preacher on Friday during the sermon when needed.
  • The magnificent power of Allah is manifested in His sending down and withholding of rain.
  • The wisdom of the Prophet (ﷺ) is shown in his supplication for the rain to be withheld only from where it caused harm, and not from where it was beneficial.
  • The legitimacy of performing Istisqā’ (supplication for rain) during the sermon.
  • Raising the hands during supplication—because it expresses humility and need, and symbolizes the expectation of receiving; and the scholars have unanimously agreed on raising them in this situation.
  • A sign from among the signs of the Prophet (ﷺ) proving his prophethood, as his supplication was answered immediately—both in bringing the rain and in causing it to cease.
