39.2 What someone says when he sees clouds

٣٩۔٢ بَابُ مَا يَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا رَأَى غَيْمًا

adab:908 – 'A'isha said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw a cloud in the sky, he would get up and down and walk to and fro, and his face would change colour. When it rained, that would leave him." When A'isha commented on that, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I do not know. Perhaps it will be as Allah Almighty says:

'When they saw it as a storm cloud advancing on their valleys...' (46:24)"

الأدب المفرد:٩٠٨ – حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا رَأَى مَخِيلَةً دَخَلَ وَخَرَجَ وَأَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ وَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ فَإِذَا مَطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ سُرِّيَ فَعَرَّفَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ}

adab:909 –

'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Paying attention to the bad omen (tayyara) is association (shirk). It has nothing to do with us. Allah will remove it by reliance on Him."

الأدب المفرد:٩٠٩ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ الْفَضْلُ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الطِّيَرَةُ شِرْكٌ وَمَا مِنَّا وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُذْهِبُهُ بِالتَّوَكُّلِ
