Rain, baarish, matar.. Is it just me ladies, or has it been pouring alot lately (alhamdulillah, love it!) ? Anyways, as we know, there are certain times that are the best times to make du'a (supplication). One of those times is at the time of the rain.
Narrated Sahel Ibn Sa'ad (radhiAllaahu 'anh): The Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) said:
'Two will not be rejected, Supplication when the Adhaan (call of prayer) is being called, and at the time of the rain'.
[Al-Hakim 2: 114, and Abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah]
Imam al-Shafi' in al-Umm, al-Sahihah #1469 is reported to have said:
"Seek the response to your du'as when the armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls."
"Seek the response to your du'as when the armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls."
The time of the rain is a time of mercy from Allaah (azz wa jal) so, one should take advantage of this time when Allaah is having Mercy on His slaves.
