موطأ مالك

Malik Muwatta
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَقُولُ ‏‏ إِذَا أَنْشَأَتْ بَحْرِيَّةً ثُمَّ تَشَاءَمَتْ فَتِلْكَ عَيْنٌ غُدَيْقَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏‏
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say, "When a cloud appears from the direction of the sea and then goes towards ash-Sham, it will be an Abundant source of rain."
