Sahih al-Bukhari 3206
حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا رَأَى مَخِيلَةً فِي السَّمَاءِ أَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ وَدَخَلَ وَخَرَجَ وَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ، فَإِذَا أَمْطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ، فَعَرَّفَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمٌ {فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ} ". الآيَةَ.
Makki ibn Ibrahim narrated to us: Ibn Jurayj narrated to us, from ʿAtaʾ, from ʿAʾisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw a cloud in the sky, he would go back and forth, enter and leave, and his face would change. When the sky rained, he would be relieved. ʿAʾisha recognized this state in him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘I do not know; perhaps it is as some people said: “When they saw it as a cloud approaching their valleys…”’—the verse.
