Sunan al-Nasa'i — The Book of Praying for Rain (Al-Istisqa')

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said: I have never sent down My favor to My slaves but a group of them became disbelievers who say; “The stars and by stars.'”

“It rained during the time of the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: ‘Have you nt heard what your Lord said this night? He said: I have never sent down any blessing upon My slaves but some of them become disbelievers thereby, saying: ‘We have been given rain by such and such a star.’ As for the one who believes in Me and praises Me for giving rain, that is the one who believes in Me and disbelieves in the stars. But the one who says: ‘We have been given rain by such and such a star’ he has disbelieved in Me and believed in the stars.”

“The people of the Jahiliyyah had two days each year when they would play. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Al-Madinah he said: ‘You had two days when you would play, but Allah (SWT) has given Muslims something instead that is better than them: the day of Al-Fitr and the day of Al-Adha.'”

Such a one should be overlooked/” He said: “Rhyming verse like the verse of the Jahiliyyah,” and he ruled that a slave should e given (as Diyah) for the child in her womb.
