Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah

Narrated Anas (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Once during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam),
the people of Medina suffered from drought. So while the Prophet
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) was delivering a sermon on a Friday a man
got up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! The horses and sheep have perished. Will
you invoke Allah to bless us with rain?" The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) lifted both his hands and invoked. The sky at that time was as
clear as glass. Suddenly a wind blew, raising clouds that gathered
together, and it started raining heavily. We came out (of the Mosque)
wading through the flowing water till we reached our homes. It went on
raining till the next Friday, when the same man or some other man stood up
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! The houses have collapsed; please invoke
Allah to withhold the rain." On that the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) smiled and said, "O Allah, (let it rain) around us and not on us."
I then looked at the clouds to see them separating forming a sort of a
crown round Medina.
