أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أنبأ أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ لَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِدْبَارًا قَالَ اللهُمَّ بِسَبْعٍ كَسَبْعِ يُوسُفَ فَأَخْذَتْهُمْ سَنَةٌ حَتَّى أَكَلُوا الْمَيْتَةَ وَالْجُلُودَ وَالْعِظَامَ فَجَاءَهُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَنَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّكَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ بُعِثْتَ رَحْمَةً وَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ قَدْ هَلَكُوا فَادْعُ اللهَ لَهُمْ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسُقُوا الْغَيْثَ فَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعًا فَشَكَى النَّاسُ كَثْرَةَ الْمَطَرِ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا فَانْحَدَرَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ قَالَ فَأُسْقِيَ النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُمْ قَالَ لَقَدْ مَضَتْ آيَةُ الدُّخَانِ وَهُوَ الْجُوعُ الَّذِي أَصَابَهُمْ وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ ﷻ {إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ} [الدخان 15] وَآيَةُ اللُّزُومِ وَالْبَطْشَةِ الْكُبْرَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَانْشِقَاقِ الْقَمَرِ
English Translation
Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz narrated to us... from Ibn Mas'ud who said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saw the people turning away, he said: 'O Allah, seven years like the seven of Yusuf.' So they were afflicted with a year of famine until they ate dead animals, skins, and bones. Then Abu Sufyan and some people of Makkah came and said: 'O Muhammad, you claim you were sent as a mercy, and your people are perishing - supplicate to Allah for them.' The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) supplicated and they were given rain, and it poured upon them for seven days. The people complained of the excessive rain, so he said: 'O Allah, around us and not upon us.' The clouds parted from above his head. The people around them were given rain. He said: The sign of the smoke has passed - and that is the hunger that befell them. That is Allah's saying: {Indeed, We will remove the punishment for a little. Indeed, you will return} [44:15]. And the sign of the strong blow on the day of Badr and the splitting of the moon.
