And his argumentation also with the hadith of the one who heard a voice in the clouds saying, "Rain on the land of so-and-so."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And the second hadith is in Sahih Muslim. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
While a man from before you was walking in a desert of the land, he heard a voice from the clouds saying: Rain on the land of so-and-so بينما رجل ممن قبلكم يمشي في فلاة من الأرض؛ إذ سمع صوتًا من السَّحاب يقول: اسق أرض فلان
A voice from the clouds, just as humans speak on the surface of the earth; there is a person speaking in the language of humans; but in the clouds! "O cloud! Rain on the land of so-and-so, son of so-and-so."
He was walking, for example, east, then he turned south! The man on earth walked with the cloud; and behold, he saw the cloud emptying its load of rain into a garden; it sprinkled it, and behold, he saw a man working in it; in his land, in his garden; so he came to him and greeted him; the owner of the garden looked at him and saw a stranger, not from the people of that village كان يمشي -مثلاً- شرقًا صار ايش؟ جنوبًا! مشي الرجل الأرضي مع السحاب؛ وإذا به يرى السحاب يُفرِغ مشحونه من المطر في حديقة؛ يطلُّ عليها وإذا به يرى رجلاً يعمل فيها؛ في أرضه، في حديقته؛ فيأتي إليه، ويُسلِّم عليه؛ ينظر إليه صاحب الحديقة؛ فيراه رجلاً غريبًا، ليس من أهل تلك القرية
. You know that villages in the past were not this large, nor with a population size where a person could recognize his relatives due to the large number, let alone his distant ones; so the village was counted in number and the faces were known.
When the man saw him, he said to him: You seem to be a stranger. He said to him: Yes, so what brought you? He said to him: I was walking and I heard a voice from the clouds saying to the cloud: Rain on the land of so-and-so; so I came with the cloud; and behold, the cloud emptied its load of rain into your land; so by what did you attain this from your Lord? فلما رأى الرجل؛ فقال له: كأنك أنت رجلٌ غريب، قال له: نعم، فما الذي جاء بك؟ قال له: أنا كنت أمشي فسمعت صوتًا من السحاب؛ يقول للسحاب: اسق أرض فلان؛ فجئت والسحاب؛ وإذا بالسحاب يُفرغ مشحونه من المطر في أرضك؛ فبما نلت ذلك من ربك؟
This is the state of the righteous! They do not have arrogance, and this pride?
He said: By Allah! I do not know, I am an ordinary man; but I have this land, so I plant it and tend to it; then I harvest it; so I make its harvest into three parts: one third I return to the land, and one third I spend on myself and my family, and one third I give in charity to the poor and the needy; so the man said to him: That is it يقول: والله! أنا لا أدري، أنا رجل عادي؛ لكن عندي هذه الأرض فأزرعها وأخدمها؛ ثم أحصدها؛ فأجعل حصيدها ثلاث أثلاث: ثلثٌ أعيده إلى الأرض، وثلث أنفقه على نفسي وأهلي، وثلثٌ أتصدَّقُ به على الفقراء والمساكين؛ فقال له الرجل: هو هذا
. What could be better than this? So look now at how the Lord of the heavens subjected the sea to the first man, and then the Lord of the sea subjected the sky to the other man; what is the common factor in this subjection?
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect. وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا * وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
[At-Talaq 65:2-3]
. And we ask Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) to make us among the pious who act upon the Book and the Sunnah.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
