Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a cloud forming in the sky, his face would change color and grow troubled. He would walk in and out, come and go restlessly. Once the rain fell, his anxiety would leave him.Ayesha mentioned to him what she had observed of this state of his, and he replied, "How do I know? Perhaps it is as the people of Aad said, 'When they saw it as a cloud advancing toward their valleys, they said, This is a cloud bringing us rain. Rather, it is that which you sought to hasten, a wind containing a painful punishment'" [Ahqaf 46:24].
حدثنا معاذ حدثنا ابن جريج عن عطاء
كان رسول الله ﷺ إذا رأى مخيلة يعني الغيم تلون وجهه وتغير ودخل وخرج وأقبل وأدبر فإذا مطرت سري عنه قالت فذكرت له عائشة بعض ما رأت منه فقال وما يدريني لعله كما قال قوم عاد {فلما رأوه عارضا مستقبل أوديتهم قالوا هذا عارض ممطرنا بل هو ما استعجلتم به ريح فيها عذاب أليم}
