Summary
Several supplications for rain are reported from the Prophet SAW, including a narration in al-Bukhari from Anas bin Malik and two narrations in Abu Daud from Jabir bin Abdillah. They are cited from Hisn al-Muslim and were recited in the istisqa' supplication. The ruling concludes that supplicating with wording from the Quran and sunnah is better, but it is permissible to use other wording as long as the meaning is good and does not contradict the Shariah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, berdoa dengan apa yang disebutkan di dalam al-Quran dan juga sunnah adalah lebih baik.
