Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The people of Madina had a drought during the time of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. While he was preaching on a Friday, a man stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, the horses have perished, the goats have perished, pray to Allah to give us water. He spread his hands and prayed. Anas said: The sky was like a mirror (there was no cloud). Then the wind rose; a cloud appeared (in the sky) and it spread: the sky poured down the water. We came out (from the mosque after the prayer) passing through the water till we reached our homes. The rain continued till the following Friday. The same or some other person stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, the houses have been demolished, pray to Allah to stop it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم smiled and said: (O Allah), the rain may fall around us but not upon us. Then I looked at the cloud which dispersed around Madina just like a crown.

انس رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ   رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے زمانے میں اہل مدینہ قحط میں مبتلا ہوئے، اسی دوران کہ آپ جمعہ کے دن ہمیں خطبہ دے رہے تھے کہ ایک شخص کھڑا ہو اور عرض کیا کہ اللہ کے رسول! گھوڑے مر گئے، بکریاں ہلاک ہو گئیں، آپ اللہ تعالیٰ سے دعا کیجئے کہ وہ ہمیں سیراب کرے، چنانچہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اپنے دونوں ہاتھوں کو پھیلایا اور دعا کی۔ انس رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں: اس وقت آسمان آئینہ کی طرح صاف تھا، اتنے میں ہوا چلنے لگی پھر بدلی اٹھی اور گھنی ہو گئی پھر آسمان نے اپنا دہانہ کھول دیا، پھر جب ہم ( نماز پڑھ کر ) واپس ہونے لگے تو پانی میں ہو کر اپنے گھروں کو گئے اور آنے والے دوسرے جمعہ تک برابر بارش کا سلسلہ جاری رہا، پھر وہی شخص یا دوسرا کوئی آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے سامنے کھڑا ہوا اور اس نے عرض کیا: اللہ کے رسول! گھر گر گئے، اللہ سے دعا کیجئے کہ وہ بارش بند کر دے، ( یہ سن کر ) آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم مسکرائے پھر فرمایا: اے اللہ! تو ہمارے اردگرد بارش نازل فرما اور ہم پر نہ نازل فرما ۔ انس رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں: تو میں نے بادل کو دیکھا وہ مدینہ کے اردگرد سے چھٹ رہا تھا گویا وہ تاج ہے۔

Narrated Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her): There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. The Prophet stood for a long time, accompanied by the people. He then bowed, then raised his head, then he bowed and then he raised his head, and again he bowed and prayed two rak'ahs of prayer. In each rak'ah he bowed three times. After bowing for the third time he prostrated himself. He stood for such a long time that some people became unconscious on that occasion and buckets of water had to be poured on them. When he bowed, he said, Allah is most great; and when he raised his head, he said, Allah listens to him who praises Him, till the sun became bright. then he said: The sun and the moon are not eclipsed on account of anyone's death or on account of anyone's birth, but they are two of Allah's signs, He produces dread in His servants by means of them.
