3850. Narrated Sufyān: 'Ubaidullāh said: "I heard Ibn 'Abbās رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا saying, 'Following are some traits of the people of the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance: (i) to defame the ancestry of other families, (ii) and to wail over the dead.'" 'Ubaidullāh forgot the third trait. Sufyān said, "They say it (i.e., the third trait) was to believe that rain was caused by the influence of stars (i.e., if a special star appears it will rain)."
3850 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: «خِلاَلٌ مِنْ خِلاَلِ الجَاهِلِيَّةِ الطَّعْنُ فِي الأَنْسَابِ وَالنِّيَاحَةُ» وَنَسِيَ الثَّالِثَةَ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهَا الِاسْتِسْقَاءُ بِالأَنْوَاءِ
