Hadith about the Dua

وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَة مَعَ اخْتِلَافٍ وَفِيهِ: " وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الصُّمَّ الْبُكْمَ مُلُوكَ الْأَرْضِ فِي خَمْسٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللَّهُ. ثُمَّ قَرَأَ:

Translation

(إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ) الْآيَة Abu Huraira transmitted it with a difference containing the following: When you see the barefooted, the naked, the deaf, the dumb as kings of the earth, as -well as five things which no one but God knows. Then he recited, ‘‘God has knowledge of the Hour, and He sends down the rain…” (Bukhari and Muslim.) [Hasan (Ibn Hajar). Takhrij Mishkat: 3/31]
