The story of the man who heard a voice from the clouds saying, "Water so-and-so's garden"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The second story is no less than this. The Messenger (peace be upon him) said: a desert expanse, a voice, , "O cloud, head toward such-and-such land and water it." This is a strange matter, a supernatural event. The cloud was moving like this; he saw it moving like this, walking with the cloud, wanting to see this miracle. Then the cloud discharged its water onto a garden overlooking which he saw a man working with a hoe, with... and so on. He greeted him, and the man returned the greeting (peace be upon him). He saw a man not from those lands, and they recognized each other. He told him the story that he is this. Therefore, we are in need of faith more than we are in need of seeking means that are forbidden. [At-Talaq 65:2-3] , and this is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Welcome, where?
While a man from among those before you was walking in a desert expanse of the earth
بينما رجلٌ ممَّن قبلكم يمشي في فلاة من الأرضwhen he heard a voice from the clouds
إذ سمع صوتًا من السحابWater such-and-such land
اسْقِ أرض فلانHe said to him: "I see you are a stranger! What brought you here?"
قال له : أراك غريبًا ! ما الذي جاء بك إلى هنا ؟"While I was walking in such-and-such land, I heard a voice saying to the clouds: 'Water such-and-such land.' So I walked with it until I reached you. There is no doubt that this is a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) by which Allah has honored you." So he said, "By Allah, I do not know; I have this land, so I plant it, then I harvest it, and I make its harvest into three parts: one third I return to the land, one third for my sustenance and my family, and one third I give in charity to my neighbors and the poor." He said, "So this is it."
بينما كان يمشي في أرض كذا سمع صوت يقول للسحاب : اسق أرض كذا ، فمشيت معه حتى وصلت إليك ، ولا شك أنه هذه كرامة أكرمَك الله بها فبما قال والله هيك الناس الصالحين هيك بيعملوا قال والله لا أدري أنا عندي هذه الأرض فبزرعها ثم أحصدها وأجعل حصيدها ثلاثة أثلاث ثلث أعيده للأرض وثلث بمونه إلي ولأهلي وثلث بتصدق فيه على جيراني والفقراء قال فهو هذاAnd 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 يَحْتَسِبُWelcome, where?
