أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، أنبأ أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: " لَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِدْبَارًا قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ بِسَبْعٍ كَسَبْعِ يُوسُفَ "، فَأَخْذَتْهُمْ سَنَةٌ حَتَّى أَكَلُوا الْمَيْتَةَ وَالْجُلُودَ وَالْعِظَامَ، فَجَاءَهُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَنَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، فَقَالُوا: يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّكَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ بُعِثْتَ رَحْمَةً، وَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ قَدْ هَلَكُوا، فَادْعُ اللهَ لَهُمْ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسُقُوا الْغَيْثَ فَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعًا، فَشَكَى النَّاسُ كَثْرَةَ الْمَطَرِ، فَقَالَ: " اللهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا "، فَانْحَدَرَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ، قَالَ: " فَأُسْقِيَ النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُمْ " قَالَ: لَقَدْ مَضَتْ آيَةُ الدُّخَانِ، وَهُوَ الْجُوعُ الَّذِي أَصَابَهُمْ، وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ} [الدخان: ١٥]، وَآيَةُ اللُّزُومِ، وَالْبَطْشَةِ الْكُبْرَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، وَانْشِقَاقِ الْقَمَرِ ". أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، وَأَشَارَ الْبُخَارِيُّ إِلَى رِوَايَةِ أَسْبَاطٍ بِزِيَادَتِهِ الَّتِي جَاءَ بِهَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ مِنْ دُعَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِجَابَةِ دَعْوَتِهِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw the people turning away from the religion, he (peace and blessings be upon him) invoked against them: 'Allahumma sab'an ka-sab'i Yusuf' (O Allah, afflict them with (years of) famine like the famine of Yusuf). So famine seized them until they ate even carrion, hides and bones. Then Abu Sufyan and the people of Makkah came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Muhammad, you claim that you have been sent as a mercy, and your people are perishing, so pray to Allah for them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated to Allah Almighty, and they were given rain, and it rained continuously for seven days. Then the people complained of the excess of rain, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Allahumma hawalayna wa la 'alayna' (O Allah, let it rain around us and not upon us). Then the clouds cleared from above his (peace and blessings be upon him) head. The narrator says: The people round about continued to receive rain. Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The sign of the smoke (al-Dukhan) that has passed refers to that very famine which struck them, and this is the saying of Allah Almighty: "Indeed, We will remove the punishment for a little while; indeed, you will return (to disbelief)." [Surah al-Dukhan: 15]. (Also passed are) the sign of al-Lizam (the inescapable punishment), al-Batshah al-Kubra (the Great Seizure) on the Day of Badr, and the splitting of the moon.
