، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَقْبَلَتْ يَهُودُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنِ الرَّعْدِ مَا هُوَ قَالَ ” مَلَكٌ مِنَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ مُوَكَّلٌ بِالسَّحَابِ مَعَهُ مَخَارِيقُ مِنْ نَارٍ يَسُوقُ بِهَا السَّحَابَ حَيْثُ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ” . فَقَالُوا فَمَا هَذَا الصَّوْتُ الَّذِي نَسْمَعُ قَالَ ” زَجْرُهُ بِالسَّحَابِ إِذَا زَجَرَهُ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى حَيْثُ أُمِرَ ” . قَالُوا صَدَقْتَ
Ibn ‘Abbās narrated: “The Jews came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Abul-Qāsim! Inform us about the thunder, what is it?’ He said: ‘An angel among the angels, who is responsible for the clouds. He has a piece of fire that he drives the clouds wherever Allāh wills.’ They said: ‘Then what is this noise we hear?’ He said: ‘It is him, rebuking the clouds as he drives them on, until they go where they are commanded.’ They said: ‘You have spoken the truth.’ “

In another version :
أخبِرْنا ما هذا الرَّعدُ قال : مَلَكٌ من ملائكةِ اللهِ عزَّ وجلَّ مُوَكَّلٌ بالسحابِ بيدِهِ أو في يدِه مِخراقٌ من نارٍ يَزجرُ به السحابَ يَسوقُهُ حيثُ أمرَ اللهُ قالوا : فما هذا الصوتُ الذي يُسمعُ قال : صَوتُهُ قالوا : صدقْتَ
“‘(They said) inform us what thunder is.’ He (ﷺ) said: ‘An angel from the angels of Allāh entrusted with the clouds, in his hand is a piece of fire, with which he collects the clouds and drives them wherever Allāh commands.’ They said: ‘What is this voice that is heard?’ He said: ‘His voice.’ They said: ‘You have spoken the truth.’ “
(Musnad of Imām Ahmad 2483. Declared Sahīh by Ahmad Shākir)
