Chapter on the Prayer for Seeking Rain

And it is narrated from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, that He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: “When Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, becomes angry with a nation, yet does not send punishment upon it, their prices rise, their lifespans become short, their merchants do not profit, their fruits do not increase, their rivers lose sweetness, their rains are withheld, and their wicked ones are given authority over them.”
