The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, the father. The questioner asks: What is the meaning of the statement of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "There is no year with more rain than another year"?
The Shaykh:
More rain, yes.
The questioner:
What is the meaning of the statement of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "There is no year with more rain than another year"?
The Shaykh:
The report is not complete, meaning the report from Mas'ud. Mas'ud's intention is not that the purpose is merely the falling of rain. Rain may fall, but Allah may not cause any vegetation to grow in it. So the lesson is not in the abundance of the falling rain. The lesson is that Allah gives it an effect, an effect in the earth, and it grows. Yes.
