Question:
He says, may Allah preserve you and reward you: What is the ruling on a person saying, "Because of you, so-and-so, the rain fell"?
Answer:
And what is the evidence that the rain fell because of so-and-so? What is the evidence? This is an exaggeration. If you praise a person with what he does not have, or with more than what he has, you have belittled him and mocked him.
