On the authority of Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhaniyy (may Allah be
pleased with him), who said:
The Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) led the morning prayer for us at al-Hudaybiyah following
rainfall during the night. When the Prophet (may the blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) finished, he faced the people and said
to them: Do you know what your Lord has said? They said: Allah and
his Messenger know best. He said: This morning one of my servants
became a believer in Me and one a disbeliever. As for him who said:
We have been given rain by virtue of Allah and His mercy, that one
is a believer in Me, a disbeliever in the stars (2); and as for him
who said: We have been given rain by such-and-such a star, that one
is a disbeliever in Me, a believer in the stars.
(2) The pre-Islamic Arabs believed that rain was brought about by
the movement of stars. This Hadith draws attention to the fact that
whatever be the direct cause of such natural phenomena as rain, it
is Allah the Almighty who is the Disposer of all things.
It is related by al-Bukhari (also by Malik and an-Nasa'i).
