English translation

3891. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "If the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ saw a cloud that looked as if it was bringing rain, the color of his face would change, and he would go in and out and walk to and fro. Then, if it rained, he would feel relieved." 'Aishah mentioned to him what she had seen him do, and he said: "How do you know? Perhaps it would be as the people of Hud said: 'Then, when they saw it as a dense cloud coming towards their valleys, they said: "This is a cloud bringing us rain!" Nay, but it is that (torment) which you were asking to be hastened."[1] (Sahih)

3891 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذَا رَأَى مَخِيلَةً تَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُهُ وَتَغَيَّرَ، وَدَخَلَ وَخَرَجَ، وَأَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ، فَإِذَا أَمْطَرَتْ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ بَعْضَ مَا رَأَتْ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: " وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ؟ لَعَلَّهُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمُ هُودٍ: {فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ قَالُوا هَذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَا بَلْ هُوَ مَا اسْتَعْجَلْتُمْ بِهِ} [الأحقاف: 24] الْآيَةَ " بَابُ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْبَلَاءِ

Commentary

a. The heart of the Prophet ﷺ, was filled with the fear of Allāh. So, a believer also should fear Allāh. b. The Prophet ﷺ was not a knower of the unseen since having the knowledge of the unseen is unique to Allāh.
