Rains due to his prayers

Miracles of Masoomeen

In Uyunul Mojizaat, Sayyid Razi has narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) that he said: Once, there was no rain for a prolonged period of time and the signs of famine started to appear. The people of Kufa came to Imam Ali (a) and petitioned to supplicate for rains; so that Almighty Allah removes the draught and sends down blessings.

Imam Ali (a) said to Imam Husain (a): Son, get up and pray for rain.

Imam Husain (a) arose and recited the praise of Almighty Allah and sought blessings on the Holy Prophet (s). Then he recited:

O Allah, the bestower of good and the senders of blessings. Send down the rains upon us and quench us with copious, thick, widespread, inundating clouds that sweep the foothills, relieve weakness from Your servants and enliven through it the dead from your cities. Amen O Lord of the worlds.

As soon as his prayer concluded clouds gathered in the sky and heavy rain began to fall. After sometime, when a Bedouin arrived there from the outskirts, he reported: At this time all the valleys are overflowing.

I reached there and prayed in the Masjid and after that I supplicated Almighty Allah very fervently; but the aim was not fulfilled there also. So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. One night, when I was doing the Tawaf, I noticed an extremely handsome and fragrant young man walking about and doing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
