When thunder was heard, Abdullah ibn Zubayr (RA) would say -
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي يُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ خِيْفَتِهِ
Transliteration
Subhaanal-lathee yusabbihur-ra'du bihamdihi wal-malaa'ikatu min kheefatihi
Translation
Glory is to Him Whom thunder and angels glorify due to fear of Him.
"حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ الْمَعْوَلِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ مَجَاعَةٌ، مَنْ أَدْرَكَتْهُ فَلاَ يَعْدِلَنَّ بِالأَكْبَادِ الْجَائِعَةِ.
