A man complained to Hasan Al-Basri (May Allah have mercy on him) about a drought, and he [Al-Basri] said to him: “Pray to Allah for forgiveness.” Another man complained to him of poverty and he said to him: “Pray to Allah for forgiveness” Another man said to him that he was unable to have children: He said: “Pray to Allah for forgiveness.” Another complained to him that his garden was dry. He said to him: “Pray to Allah for forgiveness.” Al-Basri was asked about it [his advice] and he said: “This is not my personal opinion, for Allah says in Surah Nuh (interpretation of the meaning): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft Forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance. And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.’” (71:10-12) - Tafsir Al-Qurtubi (18/301-302)
