1731/1 - Zayd ibn Khālid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: “The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Fajr prayer at Hudaybiyah. There were some marks of rainfall during the night. At the conclusion of prayer, he turned towards people and observed: ‘Do you know what your Lord has said?’ They replied: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘He said: “Some of My servants enter the morning as believers in Me and some as disbelievers. He who says: We had a rainfall due to the blessing and mercy of Allah, is a believer in Me and a disbeliever in stars; and he who says: We had a rainfall due to the rising of such-and-such (star), is a disbeliever in Me and a believer the stars.”’” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]

1) It shows the good manners and humility of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), as they would attribute knowledge to Allah and His Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). This stems from their complete submission to the judgment of Allah Almighty and His Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him).
2) One should recognize the grace and mercy of Allah Almighty through words and deeds.
3) It is Sunnah to say after rainfall: We had a rainfall due to the blessing and mercy of Allah.
4) We should be keen to rectify creeds and protect the monotheistic belief. This is the most important thing people should be preached about, especially at a time when people tend to utter words that call into question the correctness or perfection of monotheism.
