As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Al-Istisqa - 11th Jumada-ul-Awwal 1424 (12 July 2003)
Narrated by Anas (Radhiallaho anho): Whenever drought threatened them, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, used to ask Al-Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib to invoke Allah for rain. He used to say, "O Allah! We used to ask our Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) to invoke You for rain, and You would bless us with rain, and now we ask his uncle to invoke You for rain. O Allah ! Bless us with rain." And so it would rain.
