Hadith 766
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ وَغَيْرِهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ سَأَلَ ابْنُ الْكَوَّاء عَلِيًّا عَنِ الْمَجَرَّةِ، قَالَ: هُوَ شَرَجُ السَّمَاءِ، وَمِنْهَا فُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ بِمَاءٍ مُنْهَمِرٍ.
It is narrated from Abu Tufail (may Allah have mercy on him) that Ibn al-Kawwa asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about al-Mujarrah. He replied: It is a gate in the sky; through this gate, the sky was opened with the forceful water that rained down upon the people of Noah.
Hadith 767
حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: الْقَوْسُ: أَمَانٌ لأَهْلِ الأَرْضِ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ، وَالْمَجَرَّةُ: بَابُ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِي تَنْشَقُّ مِنْهُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that he said: The rainbow is a protection for the people of the earth from drowning, and the constellation is a door of the sky through which the sky will be split.
