2.119:
Narrated `Abbas bin Tamim's uncle: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) went
out to offer the Istisqa' prayer and turned (and put on) his
cloak inside out.
2.120:
Narrated Abu Huraira; Whenever the Prophet (p.b.u.h) lifted
his head from the bowing in the last rak`a he used to say: "O
Allah! Save `Aiyash bin Abi Rabi`a. O Allah! Save Salama bin
Hisham. O Allah! Save Walid bin Walid. O Allah! Save the weak
faithful believers. O Allah! Be hard on the tribes of Mudar
and send (famine) years on them like the famine years of
(Prophet) Joseph ." The Prophet further said, "Allah forgive
the tribes of Ghifar and save the tribes of Aslam." Abu
Az−Zinad (a sub−narrator) said, "The Qunut used to be recited
by the Prophet in the Fajr prayer."
2.121:
Narrated Masruq:
We were with `Abdullah and he said, "When the Prophet saw the
refusal of the people to accept Islam he said, "O Allah! Send
(famine) years on them for (seven years) like the seven years
(of famine during the time) of (Prophet) Joseph." So famine
overtook them for one year and destroyed every kind of life to
such an extent that the people started eating hides, carcasses
and rotten dead animals. Whenever one of them looked towards
the sky, he would (imagine himself to) see smoke because of
hunger. So Abu Sufyan went to the Prophet and said, "O
Muhammad! You order people to obey Allah and to keep good
relations with kith and kin. No doubt the people of your tribe
are dying, so please pray to Allah for them." So Allah
revealed: "Then watch you For the day that The sky will bring
forth a kind Of smoke Plainly visible ... Verily! You will
return (to disbelief) On the day when We shall seize You with
a mighty grasp. (44.10−16) Ibn Mas`ud added, "Al−Batsha (i.e.
grasp) happened in the battle of Badr and no doubt smoke,
Al−Batsha, Al−Lizam, and the verse of Surat Ar−Rum have all
passed .
2.122:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Dinar: My father said, "I heard Ibn
`Umar reciting the poetic verses of Abu Talib: And a white
(person) (i.e. the Prophet) who is requested to pray for rain
and who takes care of the orphans and is the guardian of
widows." Salim's father (Ibn `Umar) said, "The following
poetic verse occurred to my mind while I was looking at the
face of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) while he was praying for rain.
He did not get down till the rain water flowed profusely from
every roof−gutter: And a white (person) who is requested to
pray for rain and who takes care of the orphans and is the
guardian of widows . . . And these were the words of Abu
Talib."
2.123:
Narrated Anas:
Whenever drought threatened them, `Umar bin Al−Khattab, used
to ask Al−Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib to invoke Allah for rain.
He used to say, "O Allah! We used to ask our Prophet to invoke
You for rain, and You would bless us with rain, and now we ask
his uncle to invoke You for rain. O Allah ! Bless us with
rain."(1) And so it would rain.
2.124:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Zaid: The Prophet turned his cloak
inside out on Istisqa.
2.125:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Zaid The Prophet went towards the
Musalla and invoked Allah for rain. He faced the Qibla and
wore his cloak inside out, and offered two rak`at.
