Narrated 'Abdullah bin Dinar:

My father said, "I heard Ibn 'Umar reciting the

poetic verses of Abu Talib: "the Prophet who is requested to pray for

rain and who takes care of the orphans and is the

guardian of widows." Salim's father (Ibn 'Umar)

said, "The following poetic verse occurred to my

mind while I was looking at the face of the

Prophet (p.b.u.h) while he was praying for rain.

He did not get down till the rain water flowed

profusely from every roof-g utter: And prophet who is requested to pray forrain and

who takes care of the orphans and is the

guardian of widows . . . And these were the

words of Abu Talib."

(Hadith, Bukhari Vol 2)
