Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr narrated to us, Mu'tamir narrated to us from 'Ubayd Allah from Thabit from Anas ibn Malik, who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1021.
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar. There is a difference here from the first context, but this is undoubtedly due to the actions of the narrators, because the story is one and the same. However, in this context, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled, and the reason for his smile is that people cannot endure a single state. In the first instance, they were calling for what? For rain. In the second, they are asking Allah to hold back the rain. A person cannot endure a single state.
Narrated Anas: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I was delivering the Khutba (sermon) on a Friday when the people stood up, shouted and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! There is no rain (drought), the trees have dried and the livestock are destroyed; Please pray to Allah for rain." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said twice, "O Allah! Bless us with rain." By Allah, there was no trace of cloud in the sky and suddenly the sky became overcast with clouds and it started raining. The Prophet (ﷺ) came down the pulpit and offered the prayer. When he came back from the prayer (to his house) it was raining and it rained continuously till the next Friday. When the Prophet started delivering the Friday Khutba (sermon), the people started shouting and said to him, "The houses have collapsed and the roads are cut off; so please pray to Allah to withhold the rain." So the Prophet (ﷺ) smiled and said, "O Allah! Round about us and not on us." So the sky became clear over Medina but it kept on raining over the outskirts (of Medina) and not a single drop of rain fell over Median. I looked towards the sky which was as bright and clear as a crown.
كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطب يوم جمعة فقام الناس فصاحوا فقالوا يا رسول الله قحط المطر واحمرت الشجر وهلكت البهائم فادع الله يسقينا؟ فقال: اللهم اسقنا مرتين، وايم الله ما نرى في السماء قزعةً من سحاب، فنشأت سحابة وأمطرت ونزل عن المنبر فصلى، فلما انصرف لم تزل تمطر إلى الجمعة التي تليها فلما قام النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطب صاحوا إليه: تهدمت البيوت وانقطعت السبل، فادع الله يحبسها عنا، فتبسم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم قال: اللهم حوالينا ولا علينا فكشطت المدينة فجعلت تمطر حولها ولا تمطر المدينة قطرة فنظرت إلى المدينة وإنها لفي مثل الإكليلThe Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
