Water from the Sky

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ‌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى- وَ نَزَّلْنا مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً مُبارَكاً[1] قَالَ لَيْسَ مِنْ مَاءٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ خَالَطَهُ مَاءُ السَّمَاءِ.

“I once heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.), saying that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, about the meaning of the words of Allah, most High, ‘. . .We sent blessed water from the sky.’ (50:9) has said, there is no water on earth with which water

قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‌ اشْرَبُوا مَاءَ السَّمَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ يُطَهِّرُ الْبَدَنَ وَ يَدْفَعُ الْأَسْقَامَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ يُنَزِّلُ عَلَيْكُمْ‌ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ‌ بِهِ وَ يُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّيْطانِ وَ لِيَرْبِطَ عَلى‌ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ يُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الْأَقْدامَ‌[1].

‘’Amir al-Mu’minin has said, ‘You should drink of the water of the sky, it cleanses the body and removes illnesses as Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, “He sends water from the sky to cleanse you with it and remove the filth of Satan from you and to make your hearts firmly related and to make you steadfast

الْبَرَدُ لَا يُؤْكَلُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ- يُصِيبُ بِهِ‌ مَنْ يَشاءُ[2].

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Hail is not edible because Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, “. . . with it (hail) He causes whomever He wants to suffer.” (13:13)’”
