Hadith 451
حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ ، عَلَى إِثْرِ سَمَاءٍ كَانَتْ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ ، فَقَالَ : أَتَدْرُونَ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ ؟ ، قَالُوا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ : " أَصْبَحَ مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِي وَكَافِرٌ بِي ، فَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ : مُطِرْنَا بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ ، فَذَلِكَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِي كَافِرٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ : مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَذَلِكَ كَافِرٌ بِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, led the morning prayer for us at Hudaybiyyah after it had rained during the night. When he finished the prayer, he turned towards the people and said: "Do you know what your Lord has said?" They replied: "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, has said: 'This morning, some of My servants have become believers in Me and some have become disbelievers. Whoever said that the rain was sent down by the grace and mercy of Allah, he is a believer in Me and a disbeliever in the stars. And whoever said that the rain was sent down by such-and-such star, he has disbelieved in Me and believed in the stars.'"
Hadith 452
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ يَقُولُ : " إِذَا أَنْشَأَتْ بَحْرِيَّةً ثُمَّ تَشَاءَمَتْ فَتِلْكَ عَيْنٌ غُدَيْقَةٌ "
It reached Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When clouds rise from the direction of the sea and then begin to move towards the west, know that there is an abundant spring."
Hadith 453
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، كَانَ يَقُولُ : " إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَقَدْ مُطِرَ النَّاسُ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ الْفَتْحِ ثُمَّ يَتْلُو هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ : مَا يَفْتَحِ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ رَحْمَةٍ فَلا مُمْسِكَ لَهَا وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ سورة فاطر آية 2 "
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed that Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: When morning came and rain had fallen, rain fell by the command of Allah, then he would recite this verse: «﴿مَا يَفْتَحِ اللّٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ رَحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَا، وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ﴾ [فاطر: 2]» meaning, "If Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, wishes to show mercy to people, no one can withhold it, and if He wishes to withhold it, no one can grant it."
