Bayhaqi 6455 — It is disliked to attribute rain to the stars

فِيمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَطَّانُ، ثنا أَبُو الْأَزْهَرِ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْأَغَرِّ مَوْلَى جُهَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيُبَيِّتُ الْقَوْمَ بِالنِّعْمَةِ، ثُمَّ يصْبِحُونَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ بِهَا كَافِرٌ يَقُولُونَ: مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ". ⦗٥٠١⦘ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ: نَحْنُ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا ذَاكَ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: "A people receive a blessing by night, then they enter the morning with most of them denying it, saying: 'We have been given rain because of such-and-such naw' (star).'"
Sa'id said: We heard this from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). And he narrated to me a hadith from one whom I cannot accuse (of lying): that he was present at the prayer for rain of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was seeking rain for the people in a year of drought. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and the people supplicated and implored for rain for a long time, and he said to Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him): O Abbas! How much of the naw' of "al-Thurayya" remains? He said: O Commander of the Believers! The people of knowledge think that after seven days it will move away from the edges of the horizon. The narrator said: By Allah! Those seven days had not yet passed before the people were given rain.
