Imām An-Nasaʾī رحمه الله has narrated a ḥadīth on the authority of ʿĀ’ishah رضي الله عنها that the Prophet ﷺ would recite the following when it would rain:
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ صَيِّبًا نَافِعًا
“Allāhum-maj ʿal-hu ṣay-yiban nā-fiʿan”
“O Allāh, make it a fruitful rainfall”
Ibn Mājah رحمه الله has narrated the same hadith with a slight difference:
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ صَيِّبًا هَنِيئًا
“Allāhum-maj ʿal-hu ṣay-yiban hanī’an”
“O Allāh, make it a pleasant rain”
