Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا رَأَى مَطَرًا قَالَ: "اللَّهُمَّ صَيِّبًا نَافِعًا". وَإِذَا كَانَتْ الرِّيحُ شَدِيدَةً أَوِ الْمَطَرُ قَالَ: "اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَ بِهِ".
Aishah narrated: When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw rain, he would say: “O Allah, (let it be) a beneficial rain.” And when there was a strong wind or heavy rain, he would say: “O Allah, we seek refuge with You from the evil of what has been sent with it.”
