'A'isha said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, saw a cloud rising from the horizon, he would leave
what he was doing, even if it was the prayer, and face towards it. If Allah
dispersed it, he praised Allah, and if it rained, he said, 'O Allah, make
it a useful fall!'"
'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, "One of the supplications of the Messenger
of Allah was, 'O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the disappearance of
Your blessing and from the loss of good health and Your sudden vengeance
and all of Your anger.'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا، وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا، وَقَالَ: لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ.
Isma'il ibn Qays said, "I came to Khabbab when he had been cauterised
seven times. He said, 'If it had not been that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had forbidden us to pray for death,
I would have done so.'"
Narrated 'Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, used to use this supplication:
'O Allah, praise
is Yours in quantity as great as the heavens and in quantity as great as
the earth and in quantity as great as You wish from anything else. O Allah,
purify me with ice, snow and cold water. O Allah, purify me from wrong
actions and clean me as the white garment is cleansed of dirt.'"
