Attributing blessings to Allah instead of stars and heavenly bodies
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the Fajr prayer at al-Hudaybiyah after rainfall that had fallen during the night. When he finished, he turned to the people and said: “Do you know what your Lord has said?” They said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “This morning some of My servants have become believers in Me and disbelievers: as for the one who says, ‘We have been given rain by Allah’s favor and mercy,’ that one is a believer in Me and a disbeliever in the star; but as for the one who says, ‘We have been given rain by such-and-such a star,’ that one is a disbeliever in Me and a believer in the star.”
صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ عَلَى إِثْرِ سَمَاءٍ كَانَتْ مِنَ اللَّيْلَةِ۔ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ: «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟» قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ۔ قَالَ: «أَصْبَحَ مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِي وَكَافِرٌ: فَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ مُطِرْنَا بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ فَذَلِكَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِي وَكَافِرٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَذَلِكَ كَافِرٌ بِي وَمُؤْمِنٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ».
