The Prayer for Seeking Rain (Salat Al-Istisqa)
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 80
وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِذَا غَضِبَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى أُمَّةٍ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ بِهَا اَلْعَذَابَ غَلَتْ أَسْعَارُهَا وَ قَصُرَتْ أَعْمَارُهَا وَ لَمْ يَرْبَحْ تُجَّارُهَا وَ لَمْ تَزْكُ ثِمَارُهَا وَ لَمْ تَغْزُرْ أَنْهَارُهَا وَ حُبِسَ عَنْهَا أَمْطَارُهَا وَ سُلِّطَ عَلَيْهَا أَشْرَارُهَا.
It is narrated from The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم that He said: "When Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, becomes angry with a nation but does not send punishment upon it, the prices of goods rise, their lifespans become shorter, their traders do not profit, their fruits do not flourish, their rivers do not flow abundantly, rain is withheld from them, and their wicked people are given authority over them."
