﴿وَرَدَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِغَيْظِهِمْ لَمْ يَنَالُوا خَيْرًا﴾«اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا، اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى الْآكَامِ وَالظِّرَابِ وَبُطُونِ الْأَوْدِيَةِ.»When the rain became heavy on Madinah, the Prophet ﷺ said: "O Allah — around us, not on us; O Allah, upon the hills, the slopes, the wadi-beds, and the roots of trees." He pointed toward Mount Salʿ — and the cloud split apart over it.
