"عَن الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِىٍّ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ: مَا مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى جَنَاح الْجَرَادةِ؟ فَقَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبِى فَقَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رسُولَ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ لِى: عَلَى جَنَاح الْجَرَادَةِ مَكْتوبٌ إِنِّى أَنَا الله لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنَا رَبُّ الْجَرَادَةِ وَرَازِقُهَا، إِذَا شِئْتُ بَعَثْتُها رِزْقًا لِقَوْمٍ، وَإِنْ شِئْتُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ بَلاَءً".

"From al-Husayn ibn 'Ali: that he was asked: 'What is written on the wing of the locust?' He said: 'I asked my father, and he said: I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said to me: On the wing of the locust is written: Indeed I am Allah, there is no god but I, the Lord and Provider of the locust. If I wish, I send it as provision for a people, and if I wish, I send it as a trial upon a people.'"
