What to Say During Rain & If You Expect Harm From Rain
On seeing rain, the Prophet would
say: /allaahumma Sayyiban
naafi’aa/
Translation
(O Allah! [We beg You to] Make it abundant and useful).
After the rainfall, the Prophet
would say: /muTtirnaa bi-faDlil-laahi wa-rahmatih/
Translation
(We have been given rain by Allah’s
Grace and Mercy).
If he feared harm might be caused by
rain, he said: /allaahumma hawaalainaa
laa alainaa, allaahumma
alal-aakaam wal-jibaal, wal-aajaam,
waZ-Ziraab,
wa-butuunil-awdiyah,
wa-manaabitish-shajar/
Translation
(O Allah! [make it fall] around us
and not upon us. O Allah, make it fall upon hills, mountains, bushes, valleys
and plantations).
