Is the time of rain falling one of the times when supplication is answered?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is there a report that supplication is answered when it rains? What are the other times when supplication is answered?

Answer:
I am not aware of any evidence for this. It is well known among people, but I do not know of any evidence that the time of rain is one of the times when supplication is answered, unless it is by way of optimism; because rain is a mercy, so if one supplicates, it is answered by way of optimism and good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
