Sayyid Murtada in his book \u201cUyun\nal-Mu\u2019jizat\u201d has narrated from Imam Sadiq (PBUH) that he said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe people of\nKufa went to Amir al-Mu\u2019minin, Imam Ali (PBUH) and complained about drought and\nhaving no rain. They said to the Imam (PBUH),\u201d Ask Allah to send us rain\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amir al-Mu\u2019minin (PBUH) said to Imam\nHussain (PBUH),\u201d Go and ask Allah to send them rain\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imam Hussain (PBUH) stood up, praised\nAllah (SWT), sent blessings upon the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HP), and then\nprayed the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cO Lord! O One\nWho bestows goods and descends bounties! Order the blessed rains of the sky to\nshower upon us continuously, and quench our thirst with lots of rain; a vast,\nplentiful, glorious, granular, and flowing rain; so that You remove weakness\nfrom among Your servants and revive Your dead cities. Amen, O Lord of the\nuniverse!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imam Hussain (PBUH) had not finished\nhis prayer while it started to rain. It rained so much that some of the\nBedouins who had come from outside Kufa said,\u201d We saw the rivers and springs\nfull of water!\u201d\u201d(1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That day passed and Allah (SWT) made\nthe people of Kufa owing to Imam Hussain (PBUH) by granting his prayers. He\nsent His rain of mercy upon the people of Kufa through the prayer of Imam\nHussain (PBUH). Years passed until Muharram of year 63 AH when the people of\nKufa confronted Imam Hussain (PBUH). However, this time, according to what\nhistory has narrated, the people of Kufa and Syria martyred the grandson of the\nMessenger of Allah (PBUH&HP), his family, and his companions while they had\nabandoned even his infant from a single drop of water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And this question will always be\nrepeated throughout the history that \u201cIs there any reward for good other than\ngood? (2)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
