Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw the rain fall, he would uncover his garment. What does that mean? Does it mean he uncovered his legs, or that he took off his garment?
Answer:
No, he did not take off his garment. It means he would uncover it, meaning he would raise it, raising his garment so that the rain would touch his body, (peace and blessings be upon him), so that it would touch his body, meaning his legs and extremities; because it is blessed water,[Qaf 50:9] so it is blessed water, and he said (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunan Abi Dawud 5100Sahih (Al-Albani) Yes.

And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky
وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً مُّبَارَكًاBecause it has recently been with its Lord.
إنه حديث عهد بربه.
