Hadith Qudsi 3 Belief

Hadith Qudsi 3:

On the authority of Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhaniyy (may Allah [The Most High] be pleased with him), who said: 

The Messenger of Allah [The Most High] (may the blessings and peace of Allah [The Most High] be upon him) led the morning prayer for us at al-Hudaybiyah following rainfall during the night. When the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah [The Most High] be upon him) finished, he faced the people and said to them: 

Do you know what your Lord has said? 

They said: Allah and his Messenger know best. 

He said: This morning one of my servants became a believer in Me and one a disbeliever. As for him who said: We have been given rain by virtue of Allah and His mercy, that one is a believer in Me, a disbeliever in the stars*; and as for him who said: We have been given rain by such-and-such a star, that one is a disbeliever in Me, a believer in the stars. 

*The pre-Islamic Arabs believed that rain was brought about by the movement of stars.

This Hadith draws attention to the fact that whatever be the direct cause of such natural phenomena as rain, it is Allah [The Most High] the Almighty who is the Disposer of all things. 

It is related by al-Bukhari (also by Malik and an-Nasa'i).

6.     The two parties shall not be entitled to an alteration in this pact; These people shall neither alter any pact, or depart from it.

Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad

Note: A chieftain of Bahrain, named Akbar bin Qais went with a delegation of his clan to the Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) and stated that as their way was unsafe, they were not in a position to come to him easily. They, therefore, requested that they be taught religious matters with the help of which they could distinguish between right and wrong, so that they could take them to their clan. The Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) taught them about the Oneness of Allah, his prophethood, prayers, Zakat, fasts etc. He also gave them the above pact.
