حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ , وَمُسَدَّدٌ الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " أَصَابَنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَطَرٌ ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَسَرَ ثَوْبَهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَصَابَهُ ، فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لِمَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : لِأَنَّهُ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِرَبِّهِ " .
Anas said; A shower of rain fell on us when we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and removed his garment till some of the rain fell on him. We asked him; Messenger of Allah! Why did you do this? He replied: Because it has recently been with its Lord.
