Rain
Sahih HadithSahih Muslim 899

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ

O Allah, I ask You for its goodness, and the goodness of what is in it, and the goodness of what it has been sent with, and I seek refuge in You from its evil, and the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it has been sent with.

Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha, wa khayra ma fiha, wa khayra ma ursilat bihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha, wa sharri ma fiha, wa sharri ma ursilat bihi.

Narrated Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): When the wind blew strongly, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would say: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha, wa khayra ma fiha, wa khayra ma ursilat bihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha, wa sharri ma fiha, wa sharri ma ursilat bihi.' (O Allah, I ask You for its goodness, and the goodness of what is in it, and the goodness of what it has been sent with, and I seek refuge in You from its evil, and the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it has been sent with.)
