حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ الْمَاجِشُونِ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا فِي سَحَابَةٍ: اسْقِ حَدِيقَةَ فُلَانٍ، فَتَنَحَّى ذَلِكَ السَّحَابُ، فَأَفْرَغَ مَاءَهُ فِي حَرَّةٍ، فَانْتَهَى إِلَى الْحَرَّةِ، فَإِذَا هِيَ (٢) فِي، ، أَذْنَابِ شِرَاجٍ، وَإِذَا شَرْجَةٌ (١) مِنْ تِلْكَ الشِّرَاجِ، قَدِ اسْتَوْعَبَتْ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءَ كُلَّهُ، فَتَبِعَ الْمَاءَ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ فِي حَدِيقَتِهِ يُحَوِّلُ الْمَاءَ بِمِسْحَاتِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، مَا اسْمُكَ؟ قَالَ: فُلَانٌ، بِالِاسْمِ الَّذِي سَمِعَ فِي السَّحَابَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، لِمَ سَأَلْتَنِي (٢) عَنِ اسْمِي؟ قَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا فِي السَّحَابِ الَّذِي هَذَا مَاؤُهُ يَقُولُ: اسْقِ حَدِيقَةَ فُلَانٍ، لِاسْمِكَ، فَمَا تَصْنَعُ فِيهَا؟ قَالَ: أَمَّا إِذَا قُلْتَ هَذَا، فَإِنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَا خَرَجَ مِنْهَا، فَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثِهِ، وَآكُلُ أَنَا وَعِيَالِي ثُلُثَهُ، وَأَرُدُّ فِيهَا ثُلُثَهُ " (٣)، ،

English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: A man was walking in the wilderness when he heard a voice coming from a cloud saying, "Water the garden of so-and-so." Upon this command, the cloud moved to one side and poured its water onto a rocky place. The man reached that spot and saw that there were some channels, and one of those channels collected all the water. The man followed the water and, walking along, reached a man who was standing in his garden, directing the water here and there. He said to him, "O servant of Allah, what is your name?" He told him his name, and it was the same name that he had heard in the voice from the cloud. The man said, "O servant of Allah, why are you asking my name?" He replied, "I heard a voice in a cloud, and this water is from it, and it mentioned your name, saying, 'Water the garden of so-and-so.' Now tell me, what is it that you do (for which you have received this blessing)?" He said, "If you insist, then the matter is that I consider the produce of this garden, then I give one third in charity, one third I feed to myself and my family, and one third I reinvest in it."
