Hadith #6

Arabic Text

English Translation

He [Aḥmad] said: I read to ʿAbd al-Raḥmān: Mālik — my father said — and Isḥāq narrated to us saying: Mālik narrated to us, from Ṣāliḥ ibn Kaysān, from ʿUbaydullāh ibn ʿAbdillāh, from Zayd ibn Khālid al-Juhanī رضي الله عنه, who said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ led us in Ṣubḥ prayer at al-Ḥudaybiyah following rain that had fallen during the night. When he finished, he turned to the people and said: "Do you know what your Lord has said?" They said: "Allāh and His Messenger know best." He said: "This morning, among My servants, there is one who has become a believer in Me" — Isḥāq said: "and a disbeliever in the stars, and one who believes in the stars and disbelieves in Me. As for whoever says: 'We received rain by the grace and mercy of Allāh,' that one is a believer in Me and a disbeliever in the stars. And as for whoever says: 'We received rain by such-and-such a star,' that one is a disbeliever in Me and a believer in the stars."
