Authentic hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari Sahih al-Bukhari 4693

Narrator:Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا لَمَّا أَبْطَئُوا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالإِسْلاَمِ قَالَ ‏"‏

اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِسَبْعٍ كَسَبْعِ يُوسُفَ ‏"

Narrated `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud):

When the Prophet (ﷺ) realized that the Quraish had delayed in embracing Islam, he said, "O Allah! Protect me against their evil by afflicting them with seven (years of famine) like the seven years of (Prophet) Joseph." So they were struck with a year of famine that destroyed everything till they had to eat bones, and till a man would look towards the sky and see something like smoke between him and it. Allah said:-- "Then watch you (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce a kind of smoke plainly visible." (44.10) And Allah further said:-- "Verily! We shall withdraw the punishment a little, Verily you will return (to disbelief)." (44.15) (Will Allah relieve them from torture on the Day of Resurrection?) (The punishment of) the smoke had passed and Al-Baltsha (the destruction of the pagans in the Badr battle) had passed too.

قَوْله : ( حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَان عَنْ الْأَعْمَش عَنْ مُسْلِم ) وَهُوَ اِبْن صُبَيْح بِالتَّصْغِيرِ وَهُوَ أَبُو الضُّحَى وَهُوَ بِكُنْيَتِهِ أَشْهَر , وَوَقَعَ فِي " مُسْنَد الْحُمَيْدِيِّ " عَنْ سُفْيَان " أَخْبَرَنِي الْأَعْمَش - أَوْ أُخْبِرْت عَنْهُ - عَنْ مُسْلِم " كَذَا عِنْدَهُ بِالشَّكِّ , وَكَذَا أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو نُعَيْم فِي " الْمُسْتَخْرَج " مِنْ طَرِيقه , وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيّ مِنْ طَرِيق اِبْن أَبِي عُمَر عَنْ سُفْيَان قَالَ " سَمِعْت مِنْ الْأَعْمَش أَوْ أَخْبَرْته عَنْهُ عَنْ مُسْلِم بْن صُبَيْح " وَهَذَا الشَّكّ لَا يَقْدَح فِي صِحَّة الْحَدِيث فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاء مِنْ طَرِيق أُخْرَى عَنْ الْأَعْمَش مِنْ غَيْر رِوَايَة…

It (i.e., the imagined smoke) was because, when the Quraish refused to obey the Prophet, he asked Allah to afflict them with years of famine similar to those of (Prophet) Joseph. So they were stricken with famine and fatigue, so much so that they ate even bones. A man would look towards the sky and…
