اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيُّ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، ثنا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنِي شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ " أَنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُخْبِرَ أَنَّ أَبَا لُبَابَةَ يَقُولُ لِلسَّمَاءِ: " أَمِدِّي، يَدْعُو بِالْجَدْبِ لِنَفَاقِ ثَمَرَةِ نَخْلِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اللهُمَّ أَرْسِلْهَا حَتَّى يَسُدَّ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ ثَعْلَبَ مِرْبَدِهِ بِرِدَائِهِ " فَأَرْسَلَ اللهُ السَّمَاءَ فَلَمَّا صَارَ السَّيْلُ بِثَمَرِ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ، وَهُوَ فِي الْمِرْبَدِ اضْطُرَّ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ إِلَى إِزَارِهِ فَسَدَّ بِهِ ثَعْلَبَ الْمِرْبَدِ ".
Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed that Abu Lubabah (may Allah be pleased with him) was saying to the sky: 'Hold on longer!' — meaning that he was praying for drought so that the fruit of his date palms would be spent (sold). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, send it (that is, send down rain) until Abu Lubabah is compelled to block the drain-hole of his drying yard with his cloak." So Allah Almighty sent down rain, and when the rainwater reached Abu Lubabah's (may Allah be pleased with him) fruit while he was in his date-drying yard, Abu Lubabah (may Allah be pleased with him) was compelled to use his garment, and he blocked the drain-hole of his yard with it.
