حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَمَّالُ حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُلَاثَةَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ إِذَا دَعَا عَلَی الْجَرَادِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَهْلِکْ کِبَارَهُ وَاقْتُلْ صِغَارَهُ وَأَفْسِدْ بَيْضَهُ وَاقْطَعْ دَابِرَهُ وَخُذْ بِأَفْوَاهِهَا عَنْ مَعَايِشِنَا وَأَرْزَاقِنَا إِنَّکَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَائِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ کَيْفَ تَدْعُو عَلَی جُنْدٍ مِنْ أَجْنَادِ اللَّهِ بِقَطْعِ دَابِرهِ قَالَ إِنَّ الْجَرَادَ نَثْرَةُ الْحُوتِ فِي الْبَحْرِ قَالَ هَاشِمٌ قَالَ زِيَادٌ فَحَدَّثَنِي مَنْ رَأَی الْحُوتَ يَنْثُرُهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3221
It was narrated from Jabir and Anas bin Malik that whenever the Messenger of Allah supplicated against the locusts, he said: "O Allah, destroy their large ones and kill their small ones, spoil their eggs and root them out. Take their mouths away from our livelihood and provision, for You are the One Who hears the prayers." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, are you praying against one of the troops of Allah, that they may be rooted out?" He said: "Locusts were sneezed out by the fish in the sea.” Hashim (one of the narrators) said: “Ziyad (one of the narrators) said: ‘So it was narrated to me by one who saw a fish sneezing them out.’”
