Section 3
وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم يَقُول: " ثلاثةٌ أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي: الِاسْتِسْقَاءُ بِالْأَنْوَاءِ وَحَيْفُ السُّلْطَانِ وَتَكْذيب الْقدر "
Translation
Jabir b. Samura told that he heard God’s Messenger say, “There are three things I fear for my people: seeking rain by the stars,*the injustice of the ruler, and denial of God's decree.” Ahmad. *This is a reference to the pre-Islamic habit of attributing rain to certain seasons and saying the rain came to them because of a certain star, whereas Muslims ought to recognize that rain comes by God’s favour.
