حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ يَقُولُ شُكْرَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ تَقُولُونَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا بِنَجْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 849
It was narrated from 'Ali (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said: '"And insead (of thanking Allah) for the provision He gives you, you deny (Him by disbelief)!' [al-Waqi'ah 56:82]; you say, 'We were given rain by such-and-such a star."
