Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said: ‘Two will not be rejected, supplication when the Adhan is being called and at the time of the rain’.” Is this Hadith authentic?
Answer:
1. This Hadith is reported by Sayyiduna Sahl ibn Sa’d (radiyallahu’anhu) as recorded by Imam Hakim in his Mustadrak.
Imams Hakim and Dhahabi (rahimahumallah) have declared it authentic (sahih)
(Al-Mustadrak, vol.2 pg.114)
2. The Tabi’i, Imam Makhul (rahimahullah) reported a similar Hadith from Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) – mursalan; in which there is an omission at the top of the chain-.
(Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, Hadith: 19861 with a sound (hasan) chain as declared by My Esteemed teacher, Al-Muhaddith Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah in his footnotes)
Imam Sa’id ibn Mansur (rahimahullah) has also recorded the narration of Makhul (rahimahullah) with a good chain.
(Nataijul Afkar, vol.1 pg.383)
3. Imam Shafi’i (rahimahullah) too has recorded a narration with similar meaning, after which he says: ‘I have learned that several people experienced acceptance of their du’as at the times of iqamah and when it rains.’
(Kitabul Umm, vol.2 pg.554, number: 591-592)
4. The Hadith of Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (radiyallahu’anhu) also has the same content. See it here.
For more narrations on du’as being accepted at Adhan time, see Targhib, vol.1 pg.190-191.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
