Summary
Several rain supplications are narrated from the Prophet SAW, including Allahumma aghithna recorded by al-Bukhari, and Allahumma isqina ghaythan mughithan and Allahumma isqi 'ibadaka recorded by Abu Daud. These were recited in the context of istisqa', the prayer for rain. Supplicating with wording from the Quran and sunnah is better, but other wording is permitted 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.
