Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Some people suffered at the time of the Prophet Hud (a.s). They went to him to ask him to pray to God to send down rain from His Mercy. Then a vulgar shrew came out of Hud's house and said: “Why does Hud not say this prayer for himself?” The people asked her to take them to Hud. She told them that he was on the farm watering it. They went there and saw that after Hud watered each part of the farm, he stood up and said two units of prayer. Then Hud noticed them and asked: “What do you want?” They said: “We came to you to ask for something, and saw something even more amazing. We saw a vulgar shrew leave your house and yell at us.” He said: “She is my wife and I hope that she lives a long life.” They said: “O' Prophet of God! Why do you wish her to live a long life?” He said: “Because there is someone to bother every believer, and I thank God that He has established a person who is subject to me to be the one to bother me. If it was no so, someone worse than her would bother me.”
عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
أصاب القحط قوما في زمان هود النبي (عليه السلام) فأتوه ليستسقي لهم، فخرجت عليهم من منزله عجوز سليطة صياحة فقالت: فلم لا يستسقي لنفسه؟ فقالوا: أرشدينا إليه، فقالت: هو في زرع له يستسقيه فأتوه، فأتيناه فإذا هو كلما زرع بابا قام فصلى ركعتين، فالتفت إليهم فقال: ما حاجتكم؟ قالوا: جئناك في حاجة فرأينا أعجب مما جئنا، قال: وما رأيتم؟ قالوا: رأينا عجوزا خرجت من منزلك سليطة صياحة فصاحت في وجوهنا، فقال: تلك امرأتي وإني لأحب طول بقائها، فقالوا يا نبي الله، وما تحب من طول بقائها؟ قال: إنه ليس من مؤمن إلا وله من يؤذيه، فأنا أحمد الله أن جعل الذي يؤذيني تحت يدي، ولولا ذلك لسلط علي شرا منها.
