Sunan an-Nasai 1515 (Book 17, Hadith 12) #16126
Answered Prayers of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man asking the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to pray for rain, and the Prophet's prayer being answered. The man then asked for the rain to stop, and again the Prophet's prayer was answered.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that he said: "While we were in the masjid on Friday and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was addressing the people, a man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the routes have been cut off, our wealth has been destroyed and prices have gone up. Pray to Allah (SWT) to give us rain'. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands in level with his face and said: 'O Allah, give us rain'. By Allah (SWT), the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had not come down from the minbar before it started to pour with rain, and it rained from that day until the following Friday. Then a man stood up- I do not know if he was the same man who had asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to pray for rain for us or not- and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the routes have been cut off, and our wealth has been destroyed because there is too much water. Pray to Allah (SWT ) to stop the rain for us'. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Allah, around us and not on us, rather on the mountains and places where trees grow'. By Allah, hardly had the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoken these words than the clouds split apart (and vanished) until we could not see anything of them'."
أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، - وَهُوَ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ - عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَقَطَّعَتِ السُّبُلُ وَهَلَكَتِ الأَمْوَالُ وَأَجْدَبَ الْبِلاَدُ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَسْقِيَنَا ‏.‏ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ حِذَاءَ وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمِنْبَرِ حَتَّى أُوسِعْنَا مَطَرًا وَأُمْطِرْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الأُخْرَى فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ - لاَ أَدْرِي هُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْتَسْقِ لَنَا أَمْ لاَ - فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ انْقَطَعَتِ السُّبُلُ وَهَلَكَتِ الأَمْوَالُ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْمَاءِ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُمْسِكَ عَنَّا الْمَاءَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلاَ عَلَيْنَا وَلَكِنْ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِذَلِكَ تَمَزَّقَ السَّحَابُ حَتَّى مَا نَرَى مِنْهُ شَيْئًا

QUICK LESSONS:
Ask sincerely from Allah , Wait patiently for Him to answer your prayers

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of a time when people were in need of rain due to drought. A man stood up in front of the Messenger of Allah and asked him to pray for them so that they could receive rain. The Messenger of Allah raised his hands towards heaven and prayed for them, and soon after it started raining heavily until it lasted until Friday. Then another man stood up asking for help as there was too much water now, so again the Messenger of Allah prayed but this time he asked that it should not be on them but on mountains or places with trees instead. His prayer was answered once more as soon as he finished speaking, with clouds splitting apart until they could not be seen anymore. This hadith teaches us that if we ask sincerely from Allah then He will answer our prayers no matter how difficult or impossible it may seem at first glance. It also teaches us patience in times of difficulty; even though there was too much water now which caused destruction, they still trusted in Allah’s plan and waited patiently for Him to answer their prayers instead of taking matters into their own hands immediately.
