Going Out When It Rains and the Supplication Mentioned

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is going out when it rains a recommended practice? And what is the supplication mentioned regarding this?

Answer:
Yes, this is from the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He would go out and let the rain fall on his body (peace and blessings be upon him), because it is blessed water descending from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He (peace and blessings be upon him) would go out and expose part of his body to the rain, and he would supplicate, saying:
O Allah, send down a beneficial rain.اللهم صيبا نافعا
O Allah, send down a beneficial rain. We have been given rain by the grace of Allah and His mercy.اللهم صيبا نافعا مطرنا بفضل الله وبرحمته.
Yes.
