Sahih Muslim 2079 — Book 9, Hadith 10

وَحَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ أَصَابَتِ النَّاسَ سَنَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذْ قَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَكَ الْمَالُ وَجَاعَ الْعِيَالُ ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَاهُ ‏.‏ وَفِيهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلاَ عَلَيْنَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَا يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ إِلاَّ تَفَرَّجَتْ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي مِثْلِ الْجَوْبَةِ وَسَالَ وَادِي قَنَاةَ شَهْرًا ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَجِئْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ إِلاَّ أَخْبَرَ بِجَوْدٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Rapporté par Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه : Les gens souffraient de la famine du vivant du Messager d’Allah ﷺ. Un jour, alors que le Messager d’Allah ﷺ prononçait le sermon sur le minbar un vendredi, un bédouin se leva et dit : « Ô Messager d’Allah, les animaux sont morts et les enfants souffrent de la faim. » La suite du hadith est la même, avec ces mots : Il (le Prophète ﷺ) dit : « Ô Allah, fais pleuvoir dans nos environs mais pas sur nous. » Le narrateur dit : Dans toutes les directions où il pointait ses mains, les nuages se dispersaient, et j’ai vu Médine comme l’ouverture d’une cour, et le canal Qanat coula pendant un mois. Personne ne venait d’aucune région sans annoncer de fortes pluies
