قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ الْقَطَّانُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ اللَّيْثِيِّ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : يُصْبِحُ النَّاسُ مُجْدِبِينَ فَيَأْتِيهِمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى بِرِزْقٍ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَيُصْبِحُونَ مُشْرِكِينَ ; يَقُولُونَ : مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah al-Laythi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "People reach the morning stricken by drought and famine, then Allah Almighty, out of His special grace, grants them provision (rain), yet as soon as morning comes they fall into committing shirk; they say: 'We were given rain by the influence of such-and-such a star.'"

وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ صُبَيْحٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبَانَ هُوَ الرَّقَاشِيُّ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ يَتَمَطَّرُ فِي أَوَّلِ مَطَرِهِ فَيَنْـزِعُ ثِيَابَهُ إِلَّا الْإِزَارَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): "When the first rain (of the season) fell, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would expose his blessed body to the rain (to receive the blessing of the rain), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) would take off his clothes (from the upper part of the body), leaving only his waist-wrapper."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I went out from Madinah with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards it and said: "Indeed, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has freed this peninsula (the Arabian Peninsula) from shirk, but I fear for these people that the stars will lead them astray." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! How will the stars lead them astray? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(In that) rain comes down and they say: 'Mutirna bi-naw'i kadha' (We were given rain by the rising or setting of such-and-such a star)."
Imam Abu Ya'la recorded, through another chain, a narration from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has purified this town (meaning Madinah) of shirk, except for the fear that the stars will lead them away from the path of truth."
