Sahih Bukhari 4693

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا لَمَّا أَبْطَئُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِسَبْعٍ كَسَبْعِ يُوسُفَ ، فَأَصَابَتْهُمْ سَنَةٌ حَصَّتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ ، حَتَّى أَكَلُوا الْعِظَامَ ، حَتَّى جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَيَرَى بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا مِثْلَ الدُّخَانِ ، قَالَ اللَّهُ : فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ سورة الدخان آية 10 ، قَالَ اللَّهُ : إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلا إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ سورة الدخان آية 15 ، أَفَيُكْشَفُ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَقَدْ مَضَى الدُّخَانُ ، وَمَضَتِ الْبَطْشَةُ ؟ .

Narrated `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud): When the Prophet 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.
