The Story of the Cloud that Rained in a Valley in Yemen

It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Abbas that they were once overtaken by a cloud. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came out to them and informed them that an angel in charge of the clouds had come to him and greeted him. The angel told him that they were to be taken by the cloud to a valley in Yemen called Darih. Later, a rider came and they asked him about the cloud, to which he confirmed that they had received rain that day.

It is mentioned that Amir ibn Ibrahim and Hafs ibn Umar, who were part of this narration, are unknown. It is also reported from Bakr ibn Abdullah that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was informed through revelation by the angel in charge of the clouds about the location where rain would fall on a specific day and time. When some hypocrites heard and memorized it, they later verified its accuracy, believed, and informed the Prophet, who then told them, "May Allah increase you in faith."

This incident serves to confirm the authenticity of the initial report.
