WHEN RAIN FALLS!

WHAT SHOULD BE SAID WHEN RAIN FALLS

Dua to be recited:

It was narrated from 'Aa'ishah (may

Allah be pleased with her) that when

the Messenger of Allah (blessings

and peace of Allah be upon him) saw

rain, he would say: "Allahumma

sayyiban naafi an {O Allah, (make it)

a beneficial downpour)."

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1032)

He g' used to say: "Allahumma sayyiban

hanee'an (O Allah, (make it) a wholesome

downpour)." Classed as saheeh by

al-Albaani.

Abu Dawood (5099)

Expose oneself to the rain:

It is mustahabb to expose oneself to the rain

and let some of it flow over one's body,

because of the proven report from Anas

(may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

When we were with the Messenger of Allah

(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)

it rained. The Messenger of Allah (blessings

and peace of Allah be upon him) lifted part

of his garment so that the rain could fall on

him. We said: O Messenger of Allah, why

did you do that? He said: "Because it has

just come from its Lord, may He be glorified

and exalted"

Muslim (898)

When the rain grew severe:

When the rain grew severe, the Prophet

(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)

said: "Allahumma hawaalayna wa la 'alayna;

Allahumma 'ala al-aakaami wa'z-ziraabi,

wa butoon al-awdiyah wa manaabit

ash-shajar (O Allah, (let the rain fall) around

us and not upon us, O Allah, (let it fall) the

small mountains and hillocks, the valley

bottoms and places where trees grow)."

al-Bukhaari(1014)

When hearing thunder:

With regard to du'aa' when hearing

thunder, it is proven from 'Abdullah ibn

az-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with

him) that when he heard thunder he

would stop speaking and would say:

Subhaan alladhi yusabbih ar-ra'du bi

hamdihi wa'l-malaa'ikatu min kheefatihi

(Glory be to the One whom the thunder

glorifies and praises, and so do the

angels because of His Awe)

[cf. ar-Ra

'd 13:13]. Then he would say: This is a

stern warning to the people of earth.

Al-Bukhaari in al-Adab al-Mufrad (723); Malik in al-Muwatta' (36 41). Its isnaad

was classed as saheeh by an-Nawawi in al-Adhkaar (235) and by al-Albaani in

Saheeh al-Adab al-Mufrad (556).

Du'aa's will be answered:

The time when rain comes down is a

time of divine bounty and mercy from

Allah to His slaves, when the means of

goodness are abundant, and it is a time

when it is thought that du'aa's will be

answered.

It says in the marfoo' hadith of Sahl ibn Sa’d that the Prophet (blessings and peace of

Allah be upon him) said:

"'Two (du'aa's) are

not rejected: du'aa' at the time of the call to

prayer and du'aa' at the time of rain"

Narrated by al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak (2534); at-Tabaraani in al-Mu'jam

al-Kabeer (5756); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami' (3078).

May Allah pour beneficial rain upon us,

answer our secret prayers, wipe away

our secret tears, erase our secret fears

and lift us to the position we so dearly

desire.

WHY DO WE FAST THE DAY OF ASHURA?

WHY DO WE FAST THE DAY OF ASHURA? WHY DO WE FAST THE DAY OF ASHURA REASON WHY PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ FASTED THE DAY OF AASHOORAA, IT'S THE GREAT DAY WHEN ALLAH SAVED MOSA عليه السلام AND HIS PEOPLE, AND DROWNED PHARAOH AND HIS PEOPLE.

NARRATED BY MUSLIM1162. THE PROPHET MUHAMMADﷺ SAID: "FASTING THE DAY OF "'ASHOORA' I HOPE ALLAAH WILL EXPIATE THEREBY FOR THE YEAR THAT CAME BEFORE IT.” PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ WAS KEEN TO FAST THIS DAY SAHIH BUKHARI 1902 THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ USED TO BE VERY KEEN TO MAKE SURE HE FASTED ON THE DAY OF 'ASHOORA' BECAUSE OF ITS GREAT STATUS.
