Related Hadith:
Narrated Sharik: Anas Bin Malik said, A person entered the Mosque on a Friday through the gate facing the Daril-Qada’ and Allah’s Apostle was standing delivering the khutba( sermon). The man stood before Allah’s Apostle and said:
“ O Allah’s Apostle, livestock are dying, and the roads are cut off. Please pray to Allah for rain.”
So Allah’s Apostle (SAW) raised both his hands and said, اَللّٰھُمَّ اَغِثْنَا، اَللّٰھُمَّ اَغِثْنَا، اَللّٰھُمَّ اَغِثْنَا. Anas added, By Allah, there were no clouds in the sky and no house or building between us and the mountain of Sila. Then a big cloud like a shield appeared from behind it ( i.e., Silas Mountain), and when it came in the middle of the sky, it spread and then rained. By Allah, we could not see the sun for a week.
