Hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، وَالأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ قُرَيْشًا أَبْطَئُوا عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ،، فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ سَنَةٌ حَتَّى هَلَكُوا فِيهَا وَأَكَلُوا الْمَيْتَةَ وَالْعِظَامَ، فَجَاءَهُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، جِئْتَ تَأْمُرُ بِصِلَةِ الرَّحِمِ، وَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ هَلَكُوا، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ‏.‏ فَقَرَأَ ‏{‏فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ‏}‏ ثُمَّ عَادُوا إِلَى كُفْرِهِمْ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى ‏{‏يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَى‏}‏ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ‏.‏ قَالَ وَزَادَ أَسْبَاطٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَسُقُوا الْغَيْثَ، فَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعًا، وَشَكَا النَّاسُ كَثْرَةَ الْمَطَرِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلاَ عَلَيْنَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَانْحَدَرَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ، فَسُقُوا النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُمْ‏.‏

Narrated Masruq:One day I went to Ibn Mas`ud who said, "When Quraish delayed in embracing Islam, the Prophet (ﷺ) invoked Allah to curse them, so they were afflicted with a (famine) year because of which many of them died and they ate the carcasses and Abu Sufyan came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'O Muhammad! You came to order people to keep good relation with kith and kin and your nation is being destroyed, so invoke Allah.' So the Prophet (ﷺ) recited the Holy verses of Surat-Ad-Dukhan: 'Then watch you For the day that The sky will Bring forth a kind Of smoke Plainly visible.' (44.10) When the famine was taken off, the people renegade once again as nonbelievers. The statement of Allah, (in Sura "Ad- Dukhan"-44) refers to that: 'On the day when We shall seize You with a mighty grasp.' (44.16) And that was what happened on the day of the battle of Badr." Asbat added on the authority of Mansur, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed for them and it rained heavily for seven days. So the people complained of the excessive rain. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'O Allah! (Let it rain) around us and not on us.' So the clouds dispersed over his head and it rained over the surroundings

Masruq bataate hain: Ek din main Ibn Mas'ud ke paas gaya, unhone kaha: "Jab Quraish ne Islam qubool karne mein der ki, Nabi ne unpar laanat ki dua ki, isliye unpar ek akaal ka saal aaya jiski wajah se unme se bahut mar gaye aur woh murda janwar khane lage. Abu Sufyan Nabi ke paas gaye aur kaha: 'Aye Muhammad! Aap rishtedaron se achha suluk rakhne ka hukum dene aaye the aur aapki qaum tabaah ho rahi hai, isliye Allah se dua kijiye.' Tab Nabi ne Surah Ad-Dukhan ki paak ayaat tilawat ki: 'Tab dekho us din ka intezar jab aasman saaf dikhne wala dhuan lekar aayega' (44:10). Jab akaal khatam hua, log dobara kaafir ban gaye." Allah ke farmaan (Surah Ad-Dukhan mein) "Jis din hum tumhe sakht pakad se pakdenge" (44:16) ka ishara isi taraf hai — aur yehi Badr ki jung ke din hua. Asbat ne Mansur ke hawale se joda: "Allah ke Rasool ne unke liye dua ki aur saat din tak zabardast baarish hui. Log zyada baarish ki shikayat karne lage. Nabi ne farmaya: 'Aye Allah! Hamare aas-paas, humpar nahi.' To baadal unke sar ke upar se bikhar gaye aur aas-paas ke ilaaqon mein baarish hui."
