BAYHAQI 6475:
from al-Thiqah —
[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.'"
البيهقي ٦٤٧٥:
عن الثقه —
أَنَّ مُجَاهِدًا كَانَ يَقُولُ الرَّعْدُ مَلَكٌ وَالْبَرْقُ أَجْنِحَةُ الْمَلَكِ يَسُقْنَ السَّحَابَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ مَا أَشْبَهَ مَا قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ بِظَاهِرِ الْقُرْآنِ
