Hadith 722
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ صَوْتَ الرَّعْدِ ، قَالَ : سبحَانَ الَّذِي سَبَّحْتَ لَهُ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ الرَّعْدَ مَلَكٌ يَنْعِقُ بِالْغَيْثِ ، كَمَا يَنْعِقُ الرَّاعِي بِغَنَمِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that when he heard the sound of thunder, he would say: "Glory be to the One whose purity you have declared." He further said that thunder is an angel who shouts loudly to drive the clouds, just as a shepherd calls out loudly to drive his goats.
