حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا إِلَى جَنْبِ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَمَرَّ شَيْخٌ جَمِيلٌ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ وَفِي أُذُنَيْهِ صَمَمٌ أَوْ قَالَ وَقْرٌ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ حُمَيْدٌ فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي أَوْسِعْ لَهُ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ صَحِبَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ فَيَنْطِقُ أَحْسَنَ النُّطْقِ وَيَضْحَكُ أَحْسَنَ الضِّحْكِ
Sa’d says: I was sitting in the mosque with Humaid bin Abdur Rahman, when a handsome elder from Banu Ghifar passed by, who was hard of hearing. When Humaid sent a message to him, he turned his attention. Then Humaid said: My nephew! Make room between me and yourself for him, because he is a companion of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. That elder said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Indeed, Allah Almighty creates the cloud, and then it speaks in the best manner and laughs in the best manner.
