Bayhaqi 6472 — What one says on hearing thunder

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ طَاوسٍ: مَا كَانَ أَبُوكَ يَقُولُ إِذَا سَمِعَ الرَّعْدَ؟ قَالَ: كَانَ يَقُولُ: " سُبْحَانَ مَنْ سَبَّحْتَ لَهُ ". قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " كَأَنَّهُ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى قَوْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ} [الرعد: ١٣] ".
Ibn Uyaynah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said to Ibn Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him): What did your father say when he heard the sound of thunder? He said: He used to say: 'Subhana man sabbahta lah' (Glory be to the One whom you have glorified).
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is as if he was going by the words of Allah Almighty: "And the thunder glorifies with His praise" [Surah al-Ra'd: 13], that thunder glorifies Allah.
