حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْحَنَفِيِّ حَدَّثَنِي نَجْدَةُ بْنُ نُفَيْعٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ إِلَّا تَنْفِرُوا يُعَذِّبْکُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا قَالَ فَأُمْسِکَ عَنْهُمْ الْمَطَرُ وَکَانَ عَذَابَهُمْ
