“We send down pure water from the sky. That with it We may give life to a dead land, and slake the thirst of things We have created,- cattle
and men in great numbers.” (Surah Al - Furqan, 48- 49)
“It is Allah Who sends the Winds, and they raise the Clouds: then does
He spread them in the sky as He wills, and break them into fragments,
until you see rain-drops issue from the midst thereof: then when He has
made them reach such of his servants as He wills behold, they do rejoice!”
“And He who sends down (from time to time) water from the sky in due
measure, and We raise to life therewith a land that is dead. Even so will you be raised (from the dead).” (Surah Az -Zukhruf, 11)
Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 2, Book 17, Number 142: Narrated Aisha:
Whenever Allah’s Apostle sallahu alahi wa salaam saw the rain, he used
to say, “O Allah! Let it be a strong fruitful rain.”
Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 353:
Narrated Anas:
While the Prophet was delivering a sermon on a Friday, a man stood up
and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah to bless us with rain.” (The
Prophet invoked Allah for rain.) So, the sky became overcast and it
started raining till one could hardly reach one’s home. It kept on
raining till the next Friday when the same man or another man got up
and said (to the Prophet), “Invoke Allah to withhold the rain from us,
for we have been drowned (with heavy rain ).” The Prophet said, “O
Allah! Let it rain around us and not on us.” Then the clouds started
dispersing around Medina and rain ceased to fall on the people of Medina.
Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 362:
Narrated Anas:
Allah’s Apostle said," None of you should long for death because of a
calamity that had befallen him, and if he cannot, but long for death,
then he should say, ‘O Allah! Let me live as long as life is better for
me, and take my life if death is better for me.’ "
Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 358:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle used to seek refuge with Allah from the difficult moment of a calamity and from being overtaken by destruction and from being destined to an evil end, and from the malicious joy of enemies.
Sufyan said, “This narration contained three items only, but I added
one. I do not know which one that was.”
Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 359:
Narrated 'Aisha:
When Allah’s Apostle was healthy, he used to say, “No prophet dies till
he is shown his place in Paradise, and then he is given the option (to
live or die).” So when death approached him(during his illness), and
while his head was on my thigh, he became unconscious for a while, and
when he recovered, he fixed his eyes on the ceiling and said, “O Allah!
(Let me join) the Highest Companions (see Qur’an 4:69),” I said, “So,
he does not choose us.” Then I realized that it was the application of
the statement he used to relate to us when he was healthy.
So that was his last utterance (before he died), i.e. “O Allah! (Let me
join) the Highest Companions.”
