"A man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the
livestock have died and the routes have been cut off; pray to Allah (SWT), the
Mighty and Sublime.' So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed to Allah (SWT) and it
rained from that Friday until the next. Then a man came to the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) and said: 'The houses have been destroyed, the routes have been cut
off and the livestock have died.' He said: 'O Allah, on the tops of the
