Mishkat al-Masabih #1435
Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَتِ السَّنَةُ بِأَنْ لَا تُمْطَرُوا وَلَكِنِ السَّنَةُ أَنْ تُمْطَرُوا وَتُمْطَرُوا وَلَا تُنْبِتُ الْأَرْضُ شَيْئًا» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Abu Huraira reported God’s Messenger as saying, “Famine does not consist in your getting no rain, but it consists in your getting rain and getting more rain without the earth producing anything.”
Muslim transmitted it.
