(4). 3295. Abū 'Abdur-Rahmān narrated from 'Alī that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: And you make your provision your demise![2] – he said: "Your gratitude is expressed by saying: 'We received rain because of this and that celestial position, and because of this and that star.'" (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb [Ṣaḥīḥ. We do not
know of it being Marfū' except through the narration of Isrā'īl.] Sufyān [Ath-Thawrī] reported similar to this Hadīth, with this chain, from 'Abdul-A'lā [from Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān As-Sulamī, from 'Alī] – but he did not mention it being Marfū'.

Commentary
The Qur'an is full of delightful life, like rainwater for the spiritual and moral life of humans, but the people had been disrespecting and denying it. Similarly, Allāh makes the rain fall from the sky, but they say it happens because of the rising and setting of such and such stars. They do not have the sense to respect Allāh's favors and bounties and to pay gratitude to Him.
