[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Indeed, Allah grants people blessings during the night, but the majority of them wake up ungrateful for these blessings. They say: 'We were rained upon due to such and such star.' Muhammad ibn Ibrahim narrated this hadith to me from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, who heard it from Salman, who heard it from Abu Hurairah." Sa'id said, "We have also heard this from Abu Hurairah, who narrated to us that the one who witnessed this prayer was 'Umar ibn al-Khattab while he was seeking rain from the people during the year of Ash-Ramadah. He called upon them, and they lined up for a long time, and he sought rain for a long time. Then he asked 'Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib, 'O Abbas, how much of Thuriyya (a star) is left?' Abbas replied, 'O Commander of the Believers, the people of knowledge claim that it will rise on the horizon after it sets for seven days.' 'Umar said, 'By Allah, those seven days have not passed yet, and the people have been granted rain.' May Allah have mercy on Sheikh Al-Shafi'i, who reconciled between both narrations."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَيُبَيِّتُ الْقَوْمَ بِالنِّعْمَةِ ثُمَّ يصْبِحُونَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ بِهَا كَافِرٌ يَقُولُونَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ نَحْنُ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا ذَاكَ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ 6455 وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ هَذَا الْمُصَلَّى مِنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ وَهُوَ يَسْتَسْقِي بِالنَّاسِ عَامَ الرَّمَادَةِ قَالَ فَدَعَا وَالنَّاسُ طَوِيلًا وَاسْتَسْقَى طَوِيلًا وَقَالَ لِلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ يَا عَبَّاسُ كَمْ بَقِيَ مِنْ نَوْءِ الثُّرَيَّا؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ ؓ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ بِهَا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهَا تَعْتَرِضُ بِالْأُفُقِ بَعْدَ وَقُوعِهَا سَبْعًا قَالَ فَوَاللهِ مَا مَضَتْ تِلْكَ السَّبْعُ حَتَّى أُغِيثَ النَّاسُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَجْهُ الْجَمْعِ بَيْنَهُمَا مَا ذَكَرَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ
