Muwatta Malik #458
Asking for Rain
Yahya related to me from Malik from Salih ibn Kaysan from
Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud that Zayd ibn Khalid al-
Juhani said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, took the subh prayer with us at Hudaybiyya after it had
rained in the night. When he had finished he went up to the people and
said, 'Do you know what your Lord has said?' They said, 'Allah and His
Messenger know best.' He said, 'Some of my slaves have begun the
morning believing in Me, and others have begun it rejecting Me. As for
those who say, 'We were rained on by the overflowing favour of Allah
and His mercy,' they believe in Me and reject the stars. But as for
those who say, 'We were rained on by such and such a star, they reject
Me and believe in the stars.' "
