Hadrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be well pleased with them both) narrated that Hadrat Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be well pleased with him) was asked: Tell us about the Campaign of Hardship. He said: We set out to Tabuk in extreme heat and stopped at a place where we suffered such severe thirst that we thought our necks would be severed. A man would go to search for water and not return until we feared his neck would be severed. A man would even slaughter his camel, squeeze its stomach contents, and drink from it, placing the rest on his liver. Hadrat Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be well pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, Allah has accustomed you to goodness in supplication, so pray for us. He stated: Would you like that? He said: Yes. So the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) raised his hands and did not lower them until a cloud overshadowed them and poured rain. They filled all their vessels. Then we went to look and found that the rain had not gone beyond the army camp.
