Sahih al-Bukhari 1017 (Book 15, Hadith 12) #981
Praying for Rain

SUMMARY: A man asked the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to pray for rain, and it rained from Friday to Friday. He then asked again, and the Prophet prayed for rain in specific places.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: A man came to Allah's Messenger and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Livestock are destroyed and the roads are cut off. So please invoke Allah". So Allah's Messenger prayed and it rained from that Friday to the next Friday. Then he came to Allah's Messenger I and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Houses have collapsed, roads are cut off and the livestock are destroyed". So Allah's Messenger (pbuh) prayed, "O Allah! (Let it rain) on the tops of mountains, on the plateaus, in the valleys and over the places where trees grow". So the clouds cleared away from Medina as clothes are taken off.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَلَكَتِ الْمَوَاشِي وَانْقَطَعَتِ السُّبُلُ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَمُطِرُوا مِنْ جُمُعَةٍ إِلَى جُمُعَةٍ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، تَهَدَّمَتِ الْبُيُوتُ وَتَقَطَّعَتِ السُّبُلُ وَهَلَكَتِ الْمَوَاشِي‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ وَالآكَامِ وَبُطُونِ الأَوْدِيَةِ وَمَنَابِتِ الشَّجَرِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَانْجَابَتْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ انْجِيَابَ الثَّوْبِ‏.‏
