8. Ṣalāh for Rain (Istisqāʾ)
٨۔ كِتَابُ صَلَاةِ الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not curse time, for Allah is time itself."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَسُبُّوا الدَّهْرَ؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الدَّهْرُ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "Allah reproaches the son of Adam for his cursing of time, while I am time, in My hands are the night and the day."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ وَابْنُ مِلْحَانَ قَالَا ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ يَسُبُّ ابْنُ آدَمَ الدَّهْرَ وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ بِيَدِي اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah said, 'The son of Adam hurts me for he abuses Time though I am Time: in My Hands are all things, and I cause the revolution of day and night.' (Using translation from Bukhārī 4826)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ يُؤْذِينِي ابْنُ آدَمَ يَسُبُّ الدَّهْرَ وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ بِيَدِيَ الْأَمْرُ أُقَلِّبُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ
[Machine] The people of ignorance used to say, "Verily, it is time that destroys us, it is time that kills us and revives us." So, Allah responded to their statement, "Sa'id ibn Musayyib reported from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Allah, the Exalted, says: "The son of Adam offends Me in his statement by abusing time, and I am time, I turn the night and the day. So, when I will, I seize them both." Sufyan recited the verse, "And they said, 'There is no life for us but the life of this world; we die and we live, and nothing destroys us except Time.'"
كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ الدَّهْرَ هُوَ الَّذِي يُهْلِكُنَا هُوَ الَّذِي يُمِيتُنَا وَيُحْيِينَا فَرَدَّ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَوْلَهُمْ 6494 قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يُؤْذِينِي ابْنُ آدَمَ يَسُبُّ الدَّهْرَ وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ أُقَلِّبُ لَيْلَهُ وَنَهَارَهُ فَإِذَا شِئْتُ قَبَضْتُهُمَا وَتَلَا سُفْيَانُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَقَالُوا مَا هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَى وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلَّا الدَّهْرُ}
