What is the authenticity of the Hadith narrated from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, concerning drinking rainwater on the night of Jumu'ah while reciting specific surahs and supplications for protection and healing?
This statement has no origin from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and none of the scholars have mentioned it. Signs of fabrication are evident in it. It was mentioned in the book "Al-Rahmah fi Al-Tibb wa Al-Hikmah" attributed to Al-Suyuti, but the book is not his, and it is full of lies and falsehoods. Ibn Al-Qayyim stated that fabricated hadiths are characterized by their darkness and weakness, and that they do not resemble the words of prophets or revelation. Therefore, it is impermissible to attribute this statement to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, because it is a slander against him and against Allah, and it is among the destructive major sins. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: (Whoever narrates a hadith from me which he considers to be a lie, then he is one of the liars). If this statement were authentic, it would have spread among scholars and students of knowledge, and its narrators would have been numerous.
