حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَطَرٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ صَوْتَ الرَّعْدِ وَالصَّوَاعِقِ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَقْتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ وَلاَ تُهْلِكْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ وَعَافِنَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏

Qutaybah narrated to us; ‘Abd al-Wahid ibn Ziyad narrated to us, from al-Hajjaj ibn Artah, from Abu Matar, from Salim ibn ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar, from his father, that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard thunder and lightning strikes, he would say: ‘O Allah, do not kill us with Your anger, do not destroy us with Your punishment, and grant us well-being before that.’ He said: ‘This is a gharib hadith; we know it only through this route.’
