Sahih al-Bukhari 6343 (Book 80, Hadith 40) #6094
Praying for Rain with Humility

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed for rain and turned his upper garment inside out as a sign of humility.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Zaid: Allah's Messenger went out to this Musalla (praying place) to offer the prayer of Istisqa'. He invoked Allah for rain and then faced the Qibla and turned his Rida' (upper garment) inside out.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى هَذَا الْمُصَلَّى يَسْتَسْقِي، فَدَعَا وَاسْتَسْقَى ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَقَلَبَ رِدَاءَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Abdullah bin Zaid tells us about the Prophet Muhammad's prayer for rain. He went to a praying place called Musalla and invoked Allah for rain. He then faced the Qibla, which is the direction of prayer, and turned his Rida', which is an upper garment, inside out as a sign of humility. This teaches us that when we are in need of something from Allah, we should be humble in our supplications and ask Him with utmost sincerity. We should also remember to turn to Him in all matters no matter how small or big they may be.

The Prophet Muhammad's example shows us that even if we are asking something from Allah, it is important to remain humble and not take His blessings for granted. We must always remember that everything comes from Him alone so it is only right that we show gratitude towards Him at all times.
