Muwatta Malik #460
Asking for Rain
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَقَدْ مُطِرَ النَّاسُ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ الْفَتْحِ ثُمَّ يَتْلُو هَذِهِ الآيَةَ {مَا يَفْتَحِ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ رَحْمَةٍ فَلاَ مُمْسِكَ لَهَا وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلاَ مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ }
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abu Hurayra
used to say, when morning came after it had rained on the people, "We
have been rained upon by the rain of Allah's opening," and would then
recite the ayat, "Whatever Allah opens to man of His mercy no-one can
withhold, and whatever He withholds no-one can send forward after Him.
" (Sura 35 ayat 2).
