8. Ṣalāh for Rain (Istisqāʾ)
٨۔ كِتَابُ صَلَاةِ الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ
[Machine] "That a Mujahid used to say, 'Thunder is an angel and lightning is the wings of the angel. They bring rain to the clouds.' Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, 'What Mujahid said is similar to the apparent meanings of the Quran.'"
أَنَّ مُجَاهِدًا كَانَ يَقُولُ الرَّعْدُ مَلَكٌ وَالْبَرْقُ أَجْنِحَةُ الْمَلَكِ يَسُقْنَ السَّحَابَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ مَا أَشْبَهَ مَا قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ بِظَاهِرِ الْقُرْآنِ
[Machine] A king who commands the clouds just as he commands his camels. It is narrated about Ali.
مَلَكٌ يَزْجُرُ السَّحَابَ كَمَا يَزْجُرُ الْحَادِي الْإِبِلَ وَرُوِيَ فِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ
ثنا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى فَذَكَرَهُ
الْبَرْقُ مَخَارِيقُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ
