عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: "صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، عَلَى إِثْرِ سَمَاءٍ (1) كَانَتْ مِنْ اللَّيْلَةِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: "هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: أَصْبَحَ مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِي وَكَافِرٌ، فَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ: مُطِرْنَا بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ، فَذَلِكَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِي، كَافِرٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ: مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ(1) كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَذَلِكَ كَافِرٌ بِي، مُؤْمِنٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ" رواه البخاري (وكذلك مالك والنسائي)

Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) led the dawn prayer for us at al-Hudaybiyyah after rain had fallen during the night. When the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) had finished, he turned to the people and said to them, ‘Do you know what your Lord said?’ They replied, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said, ‘This morning, one of My servants believes in Me and one disbelieves. As for the one who says, “We have been given rain by Allah’s bounty and mercy,” that one believes in Me and disbelieves in the celestial body. As for the one who says, “We have been given rain by the setting of such-and-such a star,” that one disbelieves in Me and believes in the celestial body.’

It was related by al-Bukhari (and likewise by Malik and al-Nasa’i).

    The supplied English witness includes a lengthy explanatory footnote absent from the Arabic source text. The Arabic has a note marker (1), but no corresponding footnote text in this source block; the witness's note is not part of the narration.

    Can the provenance and scope of the absent Arabic footnote be confirmed separately? Keep the explanation out of the translated narration unless source evidence is supplied.
