Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 907
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ عَلَى أَثَرِ سَمَاءٍ كَانَتْ مِنَ اللَّيْلَةِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: أَصْبَحَ مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِي وَكَافِرٌ، فَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ: مُطِرْنَا بِفَضْلِ اللهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ، فَذَلِكَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِي كَافِرٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ: بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَذَلِكَ كَافِرٌ بِي، مُؤْمِنٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ.

Isma‘il related to us, saying: Malik related to me, from Salih ibn Kaysan, from ‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Utba ibn Mas‘ud, from Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, led us in the dawn prayer at al-Hudaybiya after rainfall during the night. When the Prophet turned away, he faced the people and said: “Do you know what your Lord has said?” They replied: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “This morning, some of My servants believe in Me and some disbelieve. Whoever says, ‘We received rain by Allah’s grace and mercy,’ believes in Me and disbelieves in the stars. But whoever says, ‘Because of such-and-such a star,’ disbelieves in Me and believes in the star.”
