Home Hadith Hadith 5862
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a
man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e.
wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on
telling lies till he is written before Allah, a liar."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 121

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) on a Friday while he (the Prophet) was delivering a sermon at Medina, and
said, "There is lack of rain, so please invoke your Lord to bless us with the rain." The Prophet (ﷺ) looked
at the sky when no cloud could be detected. Then he invoked Allah for rain. Clouds started gathering
together and it rained till the Medina valleys started flowing with water. It continued raining till the
next Friday. Then that man (or some other man) stood up while the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the Friday
sermon, and said, "We are drowned; Please invoke your Lord to withhold it (rain) from us" The
Prophet smiled and said twice or thrice, "O Allah! Please let it rain round about us and not upon us."
The clouds started dispersing over Medina to the right and to the left, and it rained round about
Medina and not upon Medina. Allah showed them (the people) the miracle of His Prophet and His
response to his invocation.
