Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى نَاشِئًا مِنْ أُفُقٍ مِنْ آفَاقِ السَّمَاءِ تَرَكَ عَمَلَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ فَإِنْ كَشَفَهُ اللَّهُ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَإِنْ مَطَرَتْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ صَيِّبًا نَافِعًا.
English Translation
Abd al-Rahman narrated from Sufyan from al-Miqdam ibn Shurayh from his father from Aisha, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, whenever he saw a cloud rising from any horizon of the sky, would leave off whatever he was doing, even if he was in his prayer, then say: 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of what is in it.' If Allah dispersed it, he would praise Allah, and if it rained he would say: 'O Allah, make it a beneficial rain.'
