ATTRIBUTING RAIN TO OTHER THAN ALLAH

1780

“The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, led the dawn prayer at Hudaibiyyah. After concluding the prayer he turned to the Companions and said, ‘Do you know what your Lord, has said?’ They replied, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’

He said, ‘This morning My worshipers arose some believing in Me and others denying Me. Whosoever said: We have been granted rain by the Grace and Mercy of Allah believe in Me, but whosoever said: We have been granted rain by such and such a star,

has denied Me and believed in the planets.’"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Zaid, the son of Khalid who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
