حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ صَوْتَ الرَّعْدِ قَالَ‏:‏ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَبَّحْتَ لَهُ، قَالَ‏:‏ إِنَّ الرَّعْدَ مَلَكٌ يَنْعِقُ بِالْغَيْثِ، كَمَا يَنْعِقُ الرَّاعِي بِغَنَمِهِ‏.‏
Translation
Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (ra) stopped speaking when he heard a thunder-clap and said

“Glory be to him whose praise the thunderclap sings and the angels glorify in awe of him”. He used to say, then, that the thunder-clap is a stern warning for the dwellers of earth.
