حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ قَالَ شِرْكُكُمْ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا بِنَجْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 677
it was narrated from 'Ali. (RA) that the Prophet said: "And instead (of thanking Allah) for the provision He gives you, you deny (Him by disbelief)!" [al-Waqi'ah 56:82]. He said: "Your shirk is when you say, 'We were given rain by such-and-such a star."'
