Jadaka al-Ghaithu (Arabic: جَادَكَ الغَيْثُ "Good Rain Would Befit You") is an Andalusi Arabic muwashshah by Ibn al-Khatib.
It was written as a madīh (مديح "panegyric") of Sultan Muhammad V of Granada. Abd al-Halim Husayn Harrut estimates it was written in the Hijri year 769 (1367-1368) or shortly thereafter, due to the presence of the phrase al-ghanī billah (الغني بالله), a moniker used for Muhammad V after a number of victories over the Crown of Castile, the last of which occurred around 1367–1368.
It is notable piece in Andalusi literature in general and the repertoire of the muwashshah genre in particular; it has been performed by musicians such as Fairuz.
