Narrated Qatada: Anas I said, “While Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) (peace be upon him) was delivering the Friday Khutba (sermon) a man came and said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)! Rain is scarce; please ask Allah to bless us with rain.’ So he invoked Allah for it, and it rained so much that we could hardly reach our homes and it continued raining till the next Friday.” Anas further said, “Then the same or some other person stood up and said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah to withhold the rain.’ On that, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) I said, ‘O Allah! Round about us and not on us.’ ” Anas added, “I saw the clouds dispersing right and left and it continued to rain but not over Medina.”
