أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ
أَنَّهُمْ بَيْنَمَا هُمْ جُلُوسٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ رُمِيَ بِنَجْمٍ فَاسْتَنَارَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا كُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا رُمِيَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا؟ » قَالُوا كُنَّا نَقُولُ وُلِدَ اللَّيْلَةَ رَجُلٌ عَظِيمٌ وَمَاتَ اللَّيْلَةَ رَجُلٌ عَظِيمٌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَإِنَّهَا لَا تُرْمَى لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّ رَبَّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِذَا قَضَى أَمْرًا سَبَّحَ حَمَلَةُ الْعَرْشِ ثُمَّ سَبَّحَ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ التَّسْبِيحُ أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَ حَمَلَةَ الْعَرْشِ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟ فَيُخْبِرُونَهُمْ فَيُخْبِرُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْخَبَرُ أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَخْطَفُ الْجِنُّ فَيُلْقُونَهُ إِلَى أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ وَيُرْمَوْنَ فَمَا جَاءُوا بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَهُوَ حَقٌّ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يَقْرِفُونَ فِيهِ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ»

✧ While they were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a star was thrown (a meteor) and it lit up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: 'What did you used to say in the pre-Islamic period (Jahiliyyah) when such a thing was thrown?' They said: 'We used to say: Tonight a great man is born, and tonight a great man has died.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'It is not thrown for the death of anyone or for his life. But our Lord, Blessed and Exalted, when He decrees a matter, the bearers of the Throne glorify Him, then the people of the heaven who are next to them glorify, until the glorification reaches the people of the lowest heaven. Then those next to the bearers of the Throne say: What did your Lord say? They inform them, and the people of the heavens inform one another until the news reaches the people of the lowest heaven. The jinn snatch (the word) and cast it to their allies, and they are pelted (with meteors). What they bring as it is, is true, but they add falsehood to it or they increase (in it).'
