حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ قَالَ نَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ مُطِرَ النَّاسُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحُوا قَالَ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا مَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ مَا أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَى عِبَادِي نِعْمَةً إِلَّا أَصْبَحَ بِهَا فَرِيقٌ كَافِرٌ يَقُولُونَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَمَّا مَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَحَمِدَنِي عَلَى سُقْيَايَ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي آمَنَ بِي وَكَفَرَ بِالْكَوْكَبِ وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ بِي وَآمَنَ بِالْكَوْكَبِ لَيْلَةٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحُوا قَالَ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا مَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ مَا أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَى عِبَادِي نِعْمَةً إِلَّا أَصْبَحَ بِهَا فَرِيقٌ كَافِرٌ يَقُولُونَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَمَّا مَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَحَمِدَنِي عَلَى سُقْيَايَ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي آمَنَ بِي وَكَفَرَ بِالْكَوْكَبِ وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ بِي وَآمَنَ بِالْكَوْكَبِ
English Translation
Ahmad ibn Aban narrated to me, he said: 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Muhammad al-Darawardi and Ibn 'Uyaynah narrated to us, from Salih ibn Kaysan, from 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abdullah, from Zayd ibn Khalid, may Allah be well pleased with him, who said: It rained one night during the time of the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace of Allah be upon him. When they awoke in the morning, he said: "Did you not hear what your Lord said last night? He said: 'I do not bestow a blessing upon My servants except that a group of them become ungrateful by saying: We were given rain by such-and-such a star. As for whoever believes in Me and praises Me for My provision of rain, that is the one who has believed in Me and disbelieved in the stars. And as for whoever says: We were given rain by such-and-such a star, that is the one who has disbelieved in Me and believed in the stars.'"
