جواب
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:
- The creatures of the earth. This was narrated by al-Barā’ from the Prophet ﷺ and is also the view of Mujāhid and ʿIkrimah. Mujāhid said: "They say, 'We have been deprived of rain due to your sins,' so they curse them."
- The believers. [ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd]
- The angels and the believers. [Abū al-ʿĀliyah, Qatādah]
- The jinn, humans, and every creature. [ʿAṭāʾ]
