the Messenger of Allah said: And you make your provision your demise! – he said: “Your gratitude is expressed by saying: ‘We received rain because of this and that celestial position, and because of this and that star.’”

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ (أتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ ) قَالَ شُكْرُكُمْ تَقُولُونَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَبِنَجْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا

“And instead (of thanking Allah) for the provision. He gives you, you deny (Him by disbelief)!ʿ [Al-Waqiʿah 56:82]. He said: ʿYour shirk is when you say. ‘We were given rain by such-and-such a star.’”

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ {وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ} [الواقعة 82] قَالَ شِرْكُكُمْ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا بِنَجْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا

“And instead (of thanking Allah) for the provision He gives you, you deny (Him by disbelief)ʿ [al-Waqiʿah 56.82]: you say, ‘We were given rain by such-and-such a star.” It was narrated from ʿAli, in a marfoo’ report: ʿAnd instead (of thanking Allah) for the provision He gives youʿ [al-Waqiʿah 56.82]. Muʼammal said: I said to Sufyan: Israʿeel narrated it in a marfooʿ report (i.e., attributed to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: Boys, boys.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ {وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ} [الواقعة 82] يَقُولُ شُكْرَكُمْ {أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ} [الواقعة 82] تَقُولُونَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا بِنَجْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا

“ ‘And have you made it your livelihood’ i.e., your gratitude ʿthat you should declare it false?ʿ [Al-Waqiʿah 56.82].” Then he said: ʿ(That is when) you say, ʿWe were given rain by such-and-such a star.”

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ {وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ} [الواقعة 82] قَالَ شُكْرَكُمْ {أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ} [الواقعة 82] قَالَ تَقُولُونَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَفَعَهُ وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ قَالَ شُكْرُكُمْ تَقُولُونَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَبِنَجْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِلَّا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى الثَّعْلَبِيُّ وَلَا يُرْوَى عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ
