أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، ثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَطَّانُ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، ثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ، ثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، ثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ:
مُطِرَ النَّاسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَصْبَحَ مِنَ النَّاسِ شَاكِرٌ، وَمِنْهُمْ كَافِرٌ. قَالُوا: هَذِهِ رَحْمَةٌ وَضَعَهَا اللهُ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: لَقَدْ صَدَقَ نَوْءُ كَذَا وَكَذَا " فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: فَلا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ

It rained upon the people during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ said: "Some of the people have woken up grateful, and some of them disbelieving. They said: This is a mercy that Allah has bestowed, and some of them said: The star-setting of such and such has proven true." Then this verse was revealed: ﴿فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ﴾ until it reached ﴿وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ﴾
