Servants of The Beloved

Khuddām Al-Ḥabīb


Sunan of Rain

Two super simple sunnahs of Our Beloved Prophet ﷺ when it would rain:

  1. ʿĀʾishah [rḍA] said that He ﷺ would say “Allāhumma ṣayyiban nāfiʿā” “Oh Allāh, make it pour fruitfully and abundantly”.1

    2. اللَّهُمَّ اصَيِّباً انَافِعاً

  2. Anas [rḍA] said that when he ﷺ would feel the rain fall on his blessed beard ﷺ, he ﷺ would uncover some part of his body [arms, upper back], so that the fresh rain would touch his blessed skin ﷺ. When asked why he ﷺ did this, he would respond saying “li annahu ḥadīthu ʿahdin bi-rabbihi” “because it’s fresh [rain] from it’s Lord”.2

    3. لِأَنَّهُ احَدِيثُ اعَهْدٍ ابِرَبِّهِ
