حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا کَانَ هَذَا لِأَنَّ قُرَيْشًا لَمَّا اسْتَعْصَوْا عَلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِسِنِينَ کَسِنِي يُوسُفَ فَأَصَابَهُمْ قَحْطٌ وَجَهْدٌ حَتَّی أَکَلُوا الْعِظَامَ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَی السَّمَائِ فَيَرَی مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا کَهَيْئَةِ الدُّخَانِ مِنْ الْجَهْدِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَائُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ يَغْشَی النَّاسَ هَذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَسْقِ اللَّهَ لِمُضَرَ فَإِنَّهَا قَدْ هَلَکَتْ قَالَ لِمُضَرَ إِنَّکَ لَجَرِيئٌ فَاسْتَسْقَی لَهُمْ فَسُقُوا فَنَزَلَتْ إِنَّکُمْ عَائِدُونَ فَلَمَّا أَصَابَتْهُمْ الرَّفَاهِيَةُ عَادُوا إِلَی حَالِهِمْ حِينَ أَصَابَتْهُمْ الرَّفَاهِيَةُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْکُبْرَی إِنَّا مُنْتَقِمُونَ قَالَ يَعْنِي يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4823
Narrated Masruq: I came upon `Abdullah and he said, "When Allah's Messenger invited Quraish (to Islam), they disbelieved him and stood against him. So he (the Prophet) said, "O Allah! Help me against them by afflicting them with seven years of famine similar to the seven years of Joseph.' So they were stricken with a year of drought that destroyed everything, and they started eating dead animals, and if one of them got up he would see something like smoke between him and the sky from the severe fatigue and hunger." `Abdullah then recited:-- 'Then watch you for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke plainly visible, covering the people. This is a painful torment... (till he reached) ........ We shall indeed remove the punishment for a while, but truly you will revert (to heathenism): (44.10-15) `Abdullah added: "Will the punishment be removed from them on the Day of Resurrection?" He added," The severe grasp" was the Day of the Battle of Badr."
