Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: The people complained to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) of the lack of rain, so he gave an order for a pulpit. It was then set up for him in the place of prayer. He fixed a day for the people on which they should come out. Aisha said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), when the rim of the sun appeared, sat down on the pulpit, and having pronounced the greatness of Allah and expressed His praise, he said: You have complained of drought in your homes, and of the delay in receiving rain at the beginning of its season. Allah has ordered you to supplicate Him has and promised that He will answer your prayer. Then he said: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe, the Compassionate, the Merciful, the Master of the Day of Judgment. There is no god but Allah Who does what He wishes. O Allah, Thou art Allah, there is no deity but Thou, the Rich, while we are the poor. Send down the rain upon us and make what Thou sendest down a strength and satisfaction for a time. He then raised his hands, and kept raising them till the whiteness under his armpits was visible. He then turned his back to the people and inverted or turned round his cloak while keeping his hands aloft. He then faced the people, descended and prayed two rak'ahs. Allah then produced a cloud, and the storm of thunder and lightning came on. Then the rain fell by Allah's permission, and before he reached his mosque streams were flowing. When he saw the speed with which the people were seeking shelter, he (ﷺ) laughed till his back teeth were visible. Then he said: I testify that Allah is Omnipotent and that I am Allah's servant and apostle. Abu Dawud said: This is a ghraib (rate) tradition, but its chain is sound. The people of Medina recite "maliki" (instead of maaliki) yawm al-din" (the master of the Day of Judgement). But this tradition (in which the word maalik occurs) is an evidence for them

حدثنا هارون بن سعيد الايلي، حدثنا خالد بن نزار، حدثني القاسم بن مبرور، عن يونس، عن هشام بن عروة، عن ابيه، عن عايشة، - رضى الله عنها - قالت شكى الناس الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قحوط المطر فامر بمنبر فوضع له في المصلى ووعد الناس يوما يخرجون فيه قالت عايشة فخرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين بدا حاجب الشمس فقعد على المنبر فكبر صلى الله عليه وسلم وحمد الله عز وجل ثم قال " انكم شكوتم جدب دياركم واستيخار المطر عن ابان زمانه عنكم وقد امركم الله عز وجل ان تدعوه ووعدكم ان يستجيب لكم " . ثم قال " { الحمد لله رب العالمين * الرحمن الرحيم * ملك يوم الدين } لا اله الا الله يفعل ما يريد اللهم انت الله لا اله الا انت الغني ونحن الفقراء انزل علينا الغيث واجعل ما انزلت لنا قوة وبلاغا الى حين " . ثم رفع يديه فلم يزل في الرفع حتى بدا بياض ابطيه ثم حول على الناس ظهره وقلب او حول رداءه وهو رافع يديه ثم اقبل على الناس ونزل فصلى ركعتين فانشا الله سحابة فرعدت وبرقت ثم امطرت باذن الله فلم يات مسجده حتى سالت السيول فلما راى سرعتهم الى الكن ضحك صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى بدت نواجذه فقال " اشهد ان الله على كل شىء قدير واني عبد الله ورسوله " . قال ابو داود وهذا حديث غريب اسناده جيد اهل المدينة يقرءون { ملك يوم الدين } وان هذا الحديث حجة لهم
