265. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Yahya Al-Wasity, from one of our companions, who have narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘Allah (azwj) Blessed and High has a Wind which is called ‘Al-Azeyb). If He (azwj) Sends from it the measurement (which comes out of) the nostril of a bull, it would raise what is in between the sky and the earth, and this is (known as) the South (Wind)’.

266. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Saleh Bin Al-Sandy, from Ja’far Bin basher, from Ruzeyq Abu Al-Abbas, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said: ‘The people came to the Rasool Allah (saww), so they said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww)! Our towns have drought and it has prevailed for years upon us. So supplicate to Allah (azwj) Blessed and High to Send the sky (to rain) upon us’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) ordered for the Pulpit. They brought it out, and the people gathered. The Rasool Allah (saww) ascended and supplicated, and ordered the people to say ‘Ameen’. It was not long before Jibraeel descended and said; ‘O Muhammad (saww)! Inform the people that your (saww) Lord (azwj) has Promised to them that He (azwj) would Make it rain on such and such a day, and at such and such a time’. So the people did not cease to look out for that day and that particular time, until that time came up. Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Excited a wind, so it raised clouds which covered the sky, and released the rain. So those individuals came with their rich ones to the Prophet (saww). They said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), Supplicate to Allah (azwj) for us to withhold the sky (stop the rain) from us, for we are about to drown. So the people gathered, and the Prophet (saww) supplicated, and ordered the people that they should say ‘Ameen’ upon his (saww) supplication. A man from the people said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), make us hear it, for all what you (saww) are saying, we cannot hear’. So he (saww) said; ‘Say, ‘Our Allah (azwj)! Around us and not upon us. Our Allah (azwj)! Let it pour in the middle of the valleys, and in the growth of the trees, and where the shepherds pasture. Our Allah (azwj)! Make it to be a Mercy, and do not Make it to be a Punishment’.
