rain was finished vs rain was stopped

Both phrases are not commonly used in English. The correct way to express the idea is to say 'the rain stopped.' 'Rain was finished' is not a natural way to describe the end of rain, and 'rain was stopped' implies that someone intentionally stopped the rain, which is not possible.
