أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الدَّارِمِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا بِسْطَامُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، ثنا أَبُو قُتَيْبَةَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، يَتَمَثَّلُ بِشِعْرِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فِي النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:.
Abd al-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Dinar narrates from his father that he heard Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) cite this verse of Abu Talib as an illustration:
'Wa abyada yustasqal-ghamamu bi-wajhihi, thimalul-yatama 'ismatun lil-aramil'
Translation: "The fair-faced one through whom even the clouds receive bounty, the helper of orphans and the feeder of widows."
'Wa abyada yustasqal-ghamamu bi-wajhihi, thimalul-yatama 'ismatun lil-aramil'
Translation: "The fair-faced one through whom even the clouds receive bounty, the helper of orphans and the feeder of widows."
قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ: وَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، يَعْنِي مَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، ثنا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ، ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: " رُبَّمَا ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ الشَّاعِرِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَسْتَسْقِي، فَمَا يَنْزِلُ حَتَّى يَجِيشَ كُلُّ مِيزَابٍ، فَأَذْكُرُ قَوْلَ الشَّاعِرِ:.
Salim narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: Often I would recall the poet's verse while looking at the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who would be standing on the pulpit asking for rain, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not come down from the pulpit before every gutter was gushing, and the poet's words would come to my mind:
'Wa abyada yustasqal-ghamamu bi-wajhihi, thimalul-yatama 'ismatun lil-aramil'
"The fair-complexioned one through whose blessed face rain is sought from the clouds; he is the refuge of orphans and the support of widows." And he said that these are the words of Abu Talib.
'Wa abyada yustasqal-ghamamu bi-wajhihi, thimalul-yatama 'ismatun lil-aramil'
"The fair-complexioned one through whose blessed face rain is sought from the clouds; he is the refuge of orphans and the support of widows." And he said that these are the words of Abu Talib.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ إِمْلَاءً، أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ يَعْنِي عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ إِذَا قَحَطُوا اسْتَسْقَى بِالْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: " اللهُمَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَسْقِينَا، وَإِنَّا نَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ بِعَمِّ نَبِيِّنَا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْقِنَا، فَيُسْقَوْنَ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيِّ. وَقَالَ: عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَكٍّ، وَكَأَنَّ ذِكْرَ أَنَسٍ سَقَطَ مِنْ كِتَابِ شَيْخِنَا أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ مَوْصُولًا.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever they were struck by drought, Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) would supplicate with Sayyiduna al-Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) and say: 'Allahumma inna kunna natawassalu ilayka bi-nabiyyina fa-tasqina, wa inna natawassalu ilayka bi-'ammi nabiyyina fasqina' (O Allah, we used to come to You through our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a means, and You would give us rain; today we come to You through the uncle of our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a means, so give us rain). And they would be given rain. Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it in his Sahih from al-Hasan bin Muhammad al-Za'farani, and he said: This report is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) without any doubt. He says that his name dropped out of the book of our (Shaykh) Abu Muhammad.
