Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 11162 — on What Has Been Reported Regarding His ﷺ
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَطُّ مُسْتَجْمِعًا ضَاحِكًا قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ ضَحِكًا حَتَّى أَرَى مِنْهُ لَهَوَاتِهِ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَتَبَسَّمُ وَقَالَتْ كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى غَيْمًا أَوْ رِيحًا عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ النَّاسُ إِذَا رَأَوُا الْغَيْمَ فَرِحُوا رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ الْمَطَرُ وَأَرَاكَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُ عَرَفْتُ فِي وَجْهِكَ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ مَا يُؤْمِنِّي أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ عَذَابٌ قَدْ عُذِّبَ قَوْمٌ بِالرِّيحِ وَقَدْ رَأَى قَوْمٌ الْعَذَابَ فَقَالُوا هَذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَا [الأحقاف: 24]
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I never saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laughing openly such that I could see the uvula of his throat; he (peace and blessings be upon him) would only smile slightly. And when he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw clouds or wind, its effects would become apparent on his (peace and blessings be upon him) face (i.e., he would become worried). I said: O Messenger of Allah! People become happy when they see clouds or wind, because they hope for rain to come, but on the contrary, I see that signs of anxiety appear on your face? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Aisha! What security do I have that there is no punishment in it, while a people (i.e., the people of ‘Ad) were destroyed by wind, and that people were looking at the punishment, but (seeing the apparent cloud) they were saying: This is a cloud that will bring us rain.
