The eloquence of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)

Question

Could you please provide the Arabic text and reference for the following:

Once when the sky was cloudy, Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) asked the people if they had observed the towering [clouds] in the sky.

The people replied that the clouds looked extremely beautiful and well stacked, one on top of the other. He then asked them how they found the central point. They replied that it is splendid and firm. He then asked them how they found the black pieces. They said that they are marvellous and deep black in colour. He asked how the mill is turning. “Excellent” they replied. He asked how they found the lightning – is it light, shining or piercing? They said it was piercing. He said that this is fertility.

Thereupon a Sahabi said “O Messenger of Allah, how eloquent you are! We have not seen someone more knowledgeable in Arabic than you.”

He replied “It is my right. Indeed the Quran was revealed to me in eloquent Arabic.”
