1 طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْداللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى لِلِاسْتِسْقَاءِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ بَدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ وَ كَبَّرَ سَبْعاً وَ خَمْساً وَ جَهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ

📚 Tahdheeb, vol. 3, p. 150

Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family, prayed two rak'ahs for rain, and he began with the prayer before the sermon and said seven and five takbirs (like the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers) and recited it audibly!

2 عن أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْداللَّه عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَضَتِ السُّنَّةُ أَنَّهُ لَا يُسْتَسْقَى إِلَّا بِالْبَرَارِي حَيْثُ يَنْظُرُ النَّاسُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ لَا يُسْتَسْقَى فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ إِلَّا بِمَكَّةَ

📚 Tahdheeb, vol. 3, p. 150

Imam Ali, peace be upon him, said: The tradition has been that rain is not sought (rain prayer is not performed) except in the wildernesses, so that people may look to the sides of the sky, and rain is not sought (rain prayer is not performed) in mosques except in Mecca!

3 عن عَبْداللَّه بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْداللَّه يَقُولُ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ قَالَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ و يَقْلِبُ رِدَاءَهُ الَّذِي عَلَى يَمِينِهِ فَيَجْعَلُهُ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ وَ الَّذِي عَلَى يَسَارِهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ وَ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ فَيَسْتَسْقِي

📚 Tahdheeb, vol. 3, p. 148

Abdullah ibn Bukair said: I heard Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, say about seeking rain: He prays two rak'ahs and turns his cloak which is on his right side to his left and his left side to his right, and he calls on Allah and seeks rain!

4 عن حَمَّادٍ السَّرَّاج قال: أَرْسَلَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْداللَّه أَقُولُ: لَهُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَكْثَرُوا عَلَيَّ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ فَمَا رَأْيُكَ فِي الْخُرُوجِ غَداً فَقُلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي عَبْداللَّه فَقَالَ لِي قُلْ لَهُ لَيْسَ الِاسْتِسْقَاءُ هَكَذَا فَقُلْ لَهُ يَخْرُجُ فَيَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ و يَأْمُرْهُمْ بِالصِّيَامِ الْيَوْمَ و غَداً و يَخْرُجُ بِهِمْ يَوْمَ الثَّالِثِ و هُمْ صِيَامٌ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ مُحَمَّداً فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَقَالَةِ أَبِي عَبْداللَّه فَجَاءَ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ و أَمَرَهُمْ بِالصِّيَامِ كَمَا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْداللَّه فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَا رَأْيُكَ فِي الْخُرُوجِ.

قَالَ و فِي غَيْرِ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ يَوْم الْإِثْنَيْنِ فَيَسْتَسْقِي

📚 Tahdheeb, vol. 3, p. 148

Hammad said: Muhammad ibn Khalid sent me to Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, to tell him that people are greatly insisting on me to seek rain. What is your opinion that we go out tomorrow to seek rain? The Imam said to me: Tell him: The 'istisqa' and the rain prayer is not like this! Tell him: He should go out and deliver a sermon to the people and order them to fast today and tomorrow, and on the third day, he should go out with them (for the rain prayer) while they are fasting!

Hammad said: I went out and informed him of the words of Abu Abdullah, peace be upon him, and he came and delivered a sermon to the people and ordered them to fast as the Imam had said. And when the third day came, he sent to the Imam asking for his opinion on going out (for the rain prayer)?

The narrator said: It is mentioned in another narration that the Imam ordered him to go out on Monday and seek rain!

5 قال أَبُوجَعْفَر كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي للِاسْتِسْقَاءَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ و يَسْتَسْقِي و هُوَ قَاعِدٌ

📚 Faqih, vol. 1, p. 535

Imam Baqir, peace be upon him, said: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family, prayed two rak'ahs for seeking rain and sought rain while sitting!

6 عن جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قال: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّه يُكَبِّرُ في الْعِيدَيْنِ و الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ في الْأُولَى سَبْعاً و في الثَّانِيَةِ خَمْساً و يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَة و يَجْهَرُ بِالْقِرَاءَة

📚 Qurb al-Isnad, p. 54

Imam Ali, peace be upon him, said: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family, for the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers and the rain prayer, would say seven takbirs in the first rak'ah and five takbirs in the second rak'ah, and he would pray before the sermon and recite audibly!

7 عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ مُرَّةَ مَوْلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: صَاحَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ فَقَالَ لِيَ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْداللَّه فَسَلْهُ مَا رَأْيُكَ فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ قَدْ صَاحُوا إِلَيَّ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ لِي قُلْ لَهُ فَلْيَخْرُجْ قُلْتُ مَتَى يَخْرُجُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ يُخْرِجُ الْمِنْبَرَ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ يَمْشِي كَمَا يَمْشِي [يخرج] يَوْمَ الْعِيدَيْنِ- وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ الْمُؤَذِّنُونَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ عَنَزُهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَ لَا إِقَامَةٍ ثُمَّ يَصْعَدُ الْمِنْبَرَ فَيَقْلِبُ رِدَاءَهُ فَيَجْعَلُ الَّذِي عَلَى يَمِينِهِ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ وَ الَّذِي عَلَى يَسَارِهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ فَيُكَبِّرُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ تَكْبِيرَةٍ رَافِعاً بِهَا صَوْتَهُ ثُمَّ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَيُسَبِّحُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ تَسْبِيحَةٍ رَافِعاً بِهَا صَوْتَهُ ثُمَّ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَيُهَلِّلُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ تَهْلِيلَةٍ رَافِعاً بِهَا صَوْتَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَقْبِلُ النَّاسَ فَيَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ تَحْمِيدَةٍ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فَيَدْعُو ثُمَّ يَدْعُونَ فَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا تَخِيبُوا قَالَ فَفَعَلَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا جَاءَ الْمَطَر قَالُوا هَذَا مِنْ تَعْلِيمِ جَعْفَرٍ.

📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 3, p. 462

Murrah, the freed slave of Muhammad ibn Khalid, said: The people of Medina called out to Muhammad ibn Khalid for the rain prayer. So he said to me: Go to Abu Abdullah, peace be upon him, and ask him that they have called out to me for the rain prayer, what is your opinion? I went to the Imam and told him. So he said to me: Tell him to go out. I said: May I be sacrificed for you, when should he go out (for the rain prayer)? He said: On Monday! I said: How should he do it? He said: He should take out the pulpit and then go out himself and walk as he goes out for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, with the callers in front of him and their sticks in their hands, until when he reaches the place of prayer, he prays two rak'ahs with the people without adhan and iqamah, and then he ascends the pulpit and turns his cloak inside out, placing the part that was on his right side on his left and the part that was on his left side on his right, and then he faces the qiblah and says 'Allahu Akbar' a hundred times in a loud voice, and then he turns to the people from the right side and says 'Subhan Allah' a hundred times in a loud voice, and then he turns to the people from the left side and says 'La ilaha illa Allah' a hundred times in a loud voice, and then he faces the people and says 'Al-hamdu lillah' a hundred times, then he raises his hands and supplicates, and they also supplicate.

So indeed I hope that they will not be disappointed.

The narrator said: He did these things, and when we returned, it rained, and they said: This is from the teachings of Ja'far, peace be upon him!

8 عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ فَقَالَ مِثْلُ صَلَاةِ الْعِيدَيْنِ يُقْرَأُ فِيهَا وَ يُكَبَّرُ فِيهَا كَمَا يُقْرَأُ وَ يُكَبَّرُ فِيهَا يَخْرُجُ الْإِمَامُ فَيَبْرُزُ إِلَى مَكَانٍ نَظِيفٍ فِي سَكِينَةٍ وَ وَقَارٍ وَ خُشُوعٍ وَ مَسْكَنَةٍ وَ يَبْرُزُ مَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَيَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ وَ يُمَجِّدُهُ وَ يُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ يَجْتَهِدُ فِي الدُّعَاءِ وَ يُكْثِرُ مِنَ التَّسْبِيحِ وَ التَّهْلِيلِ وَ التَّكْبِيرِ وَ يُصَلِّي مِثْلَ صَلَاةِ الْعِيدَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي دُعَاءٍ وَ مَسْأَلَةٍ وَ اجْتِهَادٍ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ الْإِمَامُ قَلَبَ ثَوْبَهُ وَ جَعَلَ الْجَانِبَ الَّذِي عَلَى الْمَنْكِبِ الْأَيْمَنِ عَلَى الْمَنْكِبِ الْأَيْسَرِ وَ الَّذِي عَلَى الْأَيْسَرِ عَلَى الْأَيْمَنِ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَذَلِكَ صَنَعَ.

📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 3, p. 462

Hisham ibn al-Hakam said: I asked Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, about the rain prayer; The Imam said: It is like the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers. It is recited and takbir is said just as it is recited and takbir is said in the two Eid prayers.

The leader of the prayer goes out and stands in a clean place in an open area with calmness, dignity, reverence, and humility, and the people also come with him to that open area. Then he praises and glorifies Allah and extols Him and tries hard in supplication and says 'Subhan Allah' and 'Allahu Akbar' and 'La ilaha illa Allah' a lot and in supplication, request, and effort, he prays two rak'ahs like the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers, and when the Imam says the salam, he turns his cloak inside out and places the side that was on his right shoulder on his left shoulder and the side that was on his left shoulder on his right shoulder, for the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, did this!

✅ Some of the points from the above narrations and others:

1 The rain prayer is performed in an open space and in the wilderness, and its recitation is audible.

2 For performing the rain prayer, one fasts on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and on Monday, they go out for the 'istisqa' prayer.

3 The rain prayer is before the sermon and supplication.

4 The general method of the rain prayer is like the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers, which has no adhan and iqamah. After the 'takbirat al-ihram' and the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah and a surah, five takbirs are said, and between them, supplication and 'qunut' are recited, and then the takbir for bowing is said and we go into prostration, so the total takbirs of the first rak'ah, along with the 'takbirat al-ihram' and the takbir for bowing, are seven takbirs, with five supplications and qunuts during its takbirs.

In the second rak'ah, also, after the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah and a surah, four takbirs are said, and between them, supplication and qunut are said, and then the fifth takbir is said and we go into bowing, so a total of five takbirs with four supplications between them are said in the second rak'ah.

5 After the prayer, the leader of the prayer ascends the pulpit and takes his cloak, which is a rectangular piece of cloth that is thrown over the shoulders, and turns it inside out and puts it back on his shoulders so that the right side comes to the left and the left side comes to the right, which is a metaphor for changing drought to an abundance of rain.

6 Then the leader of the prayer faces the qiblah and says 'Allahu Akbar' a hundred times in a loud voice, and then he turns to the people from the right side and says 'Subhan Allah' a hundred times in a loud voice, and then he turns to the people from the left side and says 'La ilaha illa Allah' a hundred times in a loud voice, and then he faces the people and says 'Al-hamdu lillah' a hundred times.

Then the leader of the prayer sits down and raises their hands and supplicates, and the people say 'Ameen', and the people also supplicate.

✅ For the supplication, one can use, for example, the supplication 19 of Sahifa Sajjadiyya.

✅ Due to the lack of rainfall this year, it is suggested that the believers in every city should take action with a worthy leader of the prayer in this month of Ramadan to perform the rain prayer. If Allah wills.

✅ In the next parts, a sermon containing the rain supplication from Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, for the rain prayer and supplications from Imam Hasan and Husayn, peace be upon them, for seeking rain will be mentioned, which can be used after the rain prayer.

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْرَ

✅ A sermon from Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, in the rain prayer along with the rain supplication:

9 Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, delivered a sermon for seeking rain like this:

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَابِغِ النِّعَمِ وَ مُفَرِّجِ الْهَمِّ وَ بَارِئِ النَّسَمِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ السَّمَاوَاتِ لِكُرْسِيِّهِ عِمَاداً وَ الْجِبالَ أَوْتاداً وَ الْأَرْضَ لِلْعِبَادِ مِهَاداً وَ مَلَائِكَتَهُ عَلى أَرْجائِها وَ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِهِ عَلَى أَمْطَائِهَا وَ أَقَامَ بِعِزَّتِهِ أَرْكَانَ الْعَرْشِ وَ أَشْرَقَ بِضَوْئِهِ شُعَاعَ الشَّمْسِ وَ أَطْفَأَ بِشُعَاعِهِ ظُلْمَةَ الْغَطْشِ وَ فَجَّرَ الْأَرْضَ عُيُوناً وَ الْقَمَرَ نُوراً وَ النُّجُومَ بُهُوراً ثُمَّ عَلَا فَتَمَكَّنَ وَ خَلَقَ فَأَتْقَنَ وَ أَقَامَ فَتَهَيْمَنَ فَخَضَعَتْ لَهُ نَخْوَةُ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِ وَ طَلَبَتْ إِلَيْهِ خَلَّةُ الْمُتَمَسْكِنِ اللَّهُمَّ فَبِدَرَجَتِكَ الرَّفِيعَةِ وَ مَحَلَّتِكَ الْمَنِيعَةِ وَ فَضْلِكَ الْبَالِغِ وَ سَبِيلِكَ الْوَاسِعِ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا دَانَ لَكَ وَ دَعَا إِلَى عِبَادَتِكَ وَ أَوْفَى بِعُهُودِكَ وَ أَنْفَذَ أَحْكَامَكَ وَ اتَّبَعَ أَعْلَامَكَ عَبْدِكَ وَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ أَمِينِكَ عَلَى عَهْدِكَ إِلَى عِبَادِكَ الْقَائِمِ بِأَحْكَامِكَ وَ مُؤَيِّدِ مَنْ أَطَاعَكَ وَ قَاطِعِ عُذْرِ مَنْ عَصَاكَ اللَّهُمَّ فَاجْعَلْ مُحَمَّداً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَجْزَلَ مَنْ جَعَلْتَ لَهُ نَصِيباً مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَنْذَرَ مَنْ أَشْرَقَ وَجْهُهُ بِسِجَالِ عَطِيَّتِكَ وَ أَقْرَبَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ زُلْفَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عِنْدَكَ وَ أَوْفَرَهُمْ حَظّاً مِنْ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ صُفُوفَ أُمَّةٍ فِي جِنَانِكَ كَمَا لَمْ يَسْجُدْ لِلْأَحْجَارِ

وَ لَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ لِلْأَشْجَارِ وَ لَمْ يَسْتَحِلَّ السِّبَاءَ وَ لَمْ يَشْرَبِ الدِّمَاءَ

اللَّهُمَّ فَأَرْسِلْ عَلَيْنَا دِيمَةً مِدْرَاراً وَ اسْقِنَا الْغَيْثَ وَاكِفاً مِغْزَاراً غَيْثاً وَاسِعاً وَ بَرَكَةً مِنَ الْوَابِلِ نَافِعَةً تُدَافِعُ الْوَدْقَ بِالْوَدْقِ دِفَاعاً وَ يَتْلُو الْقَطْرُ مِنْهُ الْقَطْرَ غَيْرَ خُلَّبٍ بَرْقُهُ وَ لَا مُكَذَّبٍ رَعْدُهُ وَ لَا عَاصِفَةٍ جَنَائِبُهُ بَلْ رِيّاً يَغَصُّ بِالرِّيِّ رَبَابُهُ وَ فَاضَ فَانْصَاعَ بِهِ سَحَابُهُ وَ جَرَى آثَارُ هَيْدَبِهِ جَنَابَهُ سُقْيَا مِنْكَ مُحْيِيَةً مُرْوِيَةً مُحْفِلَةً مُفْضِلَةً زَاكِياً نَبْتُهَا نَامِياً زَرْعُهَا نَاضِراً عُودُهَا مُمْرِعَةً آثَارُهَا جَارِيَةً بِالْخِصْبِ وَ الْخَيْرِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا تُنْعِشُ بِهَا الضَّعِيفَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ وَ تُحْيِي بِهَا الْمَيِّتَ مِنْ بِلَادِكَ وَ تُنْعِمُ بِهَا الْمَبْسُوطَ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ وَ تُخْرِجُ بِهَا الْمَخْزُونَ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ تَعُمُّ بِهَا مَنْ نَأَى مِنْ خَلْقِكَ حَتَّى يُخْصِبَ لِإِمْرَاعِهَا الْمُجْدِبُونَ وَ يَحْيَا بِبَرَكَتِهَا الْمُسْنِتُونَ وَ تَتْرَعَ بِالْقِيعَانِ غُدْرَانُهَا وَ تُورِقَ ذُرَى الْآكَامِ زَهَرَاتُهَا وَ يَدْهَامَّ بِذُرَى الْآكَامِ شَجَرُهَا وَ تَسْتَحِقَّ بَعْدَ الْيَأْسِ شُكْراً مِنَّةً مِنْ مِنَنِكَ مُجَلِّلَةً وَ نِعْمَةً مِنْ نِعَمِكَ مُفْضَلَةً عَلَى بَرِيَّتِكَ الْمُؤَمِّلَةِ وَ بِلَادِكَ الْمُغْرِبَةِ وَ بَهَائِمِكَ الْمُعْمَلَةِ وَ وَحْشِكَ الْمُهْمَلَةِ اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ ارْتِجَاؤُنَا وَ إِلَيْكَ مَآبُنَا فَلَا تَحْبِسْهُ عَنَّا لِتَبَطُّنِكَ سَرَائِرَنَا وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ السُّفَهَاءُ مِنَّا فَإِنَّكَ تُنْزِلُ الْغَيْثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما قَنَطُوا وَ تَنْشُرُ رَحْمَتَكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْوَلِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ

Then Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, cried and said:

سَيِّدِي صَاخَتْ جِبَالُنَا وَ اغْبَرَّتْ أَرْضُنَا وَ هَامَتْ دَوَابُّنَا وَ قَنَطَ نَاسٌ مِنَّا أَوْ مَنْ قَنَطَ مِنْهُمْ وَ تَاهَتِ الْبَهَائِمُ وَ تَحَيَّرَتْ فِي مَرَاتِعِهَا وَ عَجَّتْ عَجِيجَ الثَّكْلَى عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا وَ مَلَّتِ الدَّوَرَانَ فِي مَرَاتِعِهَا حِينَ حَبَسْتَ عَنْهَا قَطْرَ السَّمَاءِ فَرَقَّ لِذَلِكَ عَظْمُهَا وَ ذَهَبَ لَحْمُهَا وَ ذَابَ شَحْمُهَا وَ انْقَطَعَ دَرُّهَا اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْ أَنِينَ الْآنَّةِ وَ حَنِينَ الْحَانَّةِ ارْحَمْ تَحَيُّرَهَا فِي مَرَاتِعِهَا وَ أَنِينَهَا فِي مَرَابِضِهَا

✅ End of the sermon and supplication of Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, for seeking rain.

✅ The above sermon can be read after the rain prayer, which also contains the rain supplication.

10 A group of people from Kufa came to Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, and said: O Amir al-Mu'minin! Please make supplications for us for seeking rain. So Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, called Imam Hasan and Imam Husayn, peace be upon them, and said: O Hasan! Supplicate! So Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba, peace be upon him, supplicated:

اللَّهُمَّ هَیِّجْ لَنَا السَّحَابَ بِفَتْحِ الْأَبْوَابِ بِمَاءٍ عُبَابٍ وَ رَبَابٍ بِانْصِبَابٍ وَ انْسِکَابٍ یَا وَهَّابُ وَ اسْقِنَا مُطَبِّقَةً مُغْدِقَةً مُونِقَةً فَتِّحْ أَغْلَاقَهَا وَ سَهِّلْ إِطْلَاقَهَا وَ عَجِّلْ سِیَاقَهَا بِالْأَنْدِیَةِ فِی الْأَوْدِیَةِ یَا وَهَّابُ بِصَوْبِ الْمَاءِ یَا فَعَّالُ اسْقِنَا مَطَراً قَطْراً طَلًّا مُطِلًّا طَبَقاً مُطَبِّقاً عَامّاً مِعَمّاً رِهَماً رَهیما رَشّاً مُرِشّاً وَاسِعاً کَافِیاً عَاجِلًا طَیِّباً مُبَارَکاً سُلَاطِحاً بُلَاطِحاً یُنَاطِحُ الْأَبَاطِحَ مُغْدَوْدِقاً مُطْبَوْبِقاً مُغْرَوْرِقاً وَ اسْقِ سَهْلَنَا وَ جَبَلَنَا وَ بَدْوَنَا وَ حَضَرَنَا حَتَّی تُرَخِّصَ بِهِ أَسْعَارَنَا وَ تُبَارِکَ بِهِ فِی ضِیَاعِنَا وَ مُدُنِنَا أَرِنَا الرِّزْقَ مَوْجُوداً وَ الْغَلَاءَ مَفْقُوداً آمِینَ یَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِینَ.

Then Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said to Imam Husayn, peace be upon him: Supplicate! So Imam Husayn, peace be upon him, supplicated like this:

اللَّهُمَّ مُعْطِیَ الْخَیْرَاتِ مِنْ مَظَانِّهَا وَ مُنْزِلَ الرَّحَمَاتِ مِنْ مَعَادِنِهَا وَ مُجْرِیَ الْبَرَکَاتِ عَلَی أَهْلِهَا مِنْکَ الْغَیْثُ الْمُغِیثُ وَ أَنْتَ الْغِیَاثُ الْمُسْتَغَاثُ وَ نَحْنُ الْخَاطِئُونَ وَ أَهْلُ الذُّنُوبِ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُسْتَغْفَرُ الْغَفَّارُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ اللَّهُمَّ أَرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَیْنَا دِیمَةً مِدْرَاراً وَ اسْقِنَا الْغَیْثَ وَاکِفاً مِغْزَاراً غَیْثاً مُغِیثاً وَاسِعاً مُسْبِغاً مُهَطَّلًا مَرِیئاً مَرِیعاً غَدِقاً مُغْدِقاً عُبَاباً مُجَلْجِلًا سَحّاً سَحْسَاحاً بَسّاً بَسَّاساً مُسْبِلًا عَامّاً وَدْقاً مِطْفَاحاً یَدْفَعُ الْوَدْقَ بِالْوَدْقِ دِفَاعاً وَ یَطْلُعُ الْقَطْرُ مِنْهُ غَیْرَ خُلَّبِ الْبَرْقِ وَ لَا مُکَذِّبِ الرَّعْدِ تَنْعَشُ بِهِ الضَّعِیفَ مِنْ عِبَادِکَ وَ تُحْیِی بِهِ الْمَیْتَ مِنْ بِلَادِکَ مَنّاً عَلَیْنَا مِنْکَ آمِینَ یَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِینَ

So before their words were finished, Allah sent down the rain water!

So Salman al-Farsi was asked: O Abu Abdullah, are these supplications something that has been taught to these two? Salman said: Woe to you! Have you not heard the words of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family, where he says: Wisdom has flowed on the tongues of my Ahl al-Bayt!

📚 Al-Faqih, vol. 1, p. 338

✅ The above supplications can also be used after the rain prayer and at all times.
