Sahih Muslim 894c (Book 9, Hadith 3) #9238
Praying for Rainfall

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) went to a place of prayer to ask for rain and turned his mantle around while facing the Qibla.

'Abdullah b. Zaid al-Ansari reported that the Messenger of Allah went out to the place of prayer in order to offer prayer for rainfall. And when he intended to make supplication he faced Qibla and turned round his mantle.
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ عَبَّادَ بْنَ تَمِيمٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَيْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى يَسْتَسْقِي وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ

Ask Allah humbly with devotion when seeking blessings
EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known for his devotion to Allah and his dedication to prayer. In this hadith, we learn that he went out to a place of prayer in order to ask Allah for rainfall through supplication. He faced the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca - known as the Qibla - and turned around his mantle while making supplication. This teaches us that when we are asking Allah for something important such as rain or any other blessing, we should be humble and devoted in our prayers by facing the direction of the Kaaba and turning our garments around us as a sign of humility before God.
