Prayer for gentle rain through submissive clouds

al-Sharīf al-Raḍī
۞
as-Sayyid ar-Raḍī says: This is an expression of wonderful eloquence, because Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, has likened the cloud which is accompanied by thunder, lighting, wind and flashes with unruly camels who throw away their saddles and throw down their riders, and likened the clouds free from these terrible things to the submissive camels which are easy to milk and obedient to ride.
قال السيد الرضي : وهذا من الكلام العجيب الفصاحة، وذلك أنه (عليه السلام) شبّه السحاب ذوات الرُّعود والبوارق والرياح والصواعق بالإبل الصّعاب التي تَقْمُصُ برحالها وتقِصُّ بركبانها، وشبّه السحاب خاليةً من تلك الروائع بالإبل الذُّلُلِ التي تُحْتَلَبُ طَيِّعَةً‌ وتُقْتَعَدُ مُسْمِحَةً.
