English Translation

It is narrated from Hadrat Abdullah bin Dinar (upon him be mercy) who said: I heard Hadrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be well pleased with them both) reciting the poetry of Abu Talib: 'And the luminous one, by whose blessed face rain is sought from the clouds, the guardian of orphans and the refuge of widows.' And Umar bin Hamza narrated from Salim, from his father who said: At times the words of the poet would come to my mind while I was looking at the blessed face of the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) as he was praying for rain. He had not yet descended (from the pulpit) when every gutter began overflowing with water: 'And the luminous one, by whose blessed face rain is sought from the clouds, the guardian of orphans and the refuge of widows.' And these are the words of Abu Talib.
