وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ الْمُؤَدِّبُ، وَالْمُعَلَّى بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، وَنَسَخْتُهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ زَكَرِيَّا وَهُوَ لَفْظُهُ، قَالُوا: أَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ ظُهَيْرٍ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَابِطٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ:
أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ يُقَالُ لَهُ: ( نُسَابِيٌّ ) ( الْيَهُودِيُّ )، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ النُّجُومِ الَّتِي رَآهَا يُوسُفُ سَاجِدَةً لَهُ فِي أُفُقِ السَّمَاءِ، مَا اسْمُهَا ؟ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِشَيْءٍ، فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ ( عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ) فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَبَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى ( نُسَابِيٍّ ) الْيَهُودِيِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَتُسْلِمُ إِنْ أَنْبَأْتُكَ بِأَسْمَائِهَا ؟ » ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: هِيَ ( خِرْبَانُ )، وَالذَّيَّالُ، وَالطَّارِقُ، وَاللِّسَانُ، وَقَايِسُ، وَوَثَّابٌ، وَعَمُودَانِ، وَالْفَيْلَقُ، وَالْمُصَبِّحُ، وَالصَّرُوحُ، وَذُو الْفَرَعِ. قَالَ: يَقُولُ ( نُسَابِيٌّ ) وَاللهِ إِنَّهَا أَسْمَاؤُهَا. قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَمَّا رَآهَا يُوسُفُ ( عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ ) قَصَّهَا عَلَى أَبِيهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُوهُ: أَمْرٌ مُشَتَّتٌ يَجْمَعُهُ اللهُ مِنْ بَعْدُ، قَالَ: وَالشَّمْسُ أَبُوهُ، وَالْقَمَرُ أُمُّهُ.

✧ A man from the Jews called Nusabi al-Yahudi came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “O Muhammad, tell me about the stars that Yusuf saw prostrating to him on the horizon of the sky; what are their names?” The Prophet of Allah ﷺ did not answer him that day with anything. Then Jibril ﷺ came to him and informed him. The Prophet ﷺ sent for Nusabi the Jew and said to him: “Will you submit if I tell you their names?” Then he ﷺ said: “They are Khirban, al-Dhayyal, al-Tariq, al-Lisan, Qayis, Waththab, 'Amudan, al-Faylaq, al-Musabbih, al-Saruh, and Dhu al-Fara'.” He said: Nusabi said: “By Allah, these are their names.” He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When Yusuf (peace and blessings be upon him) saw them, he related them to his father. His father said to him: ‘It is a scattered matter that Allah will gather together afterward.’” He said: “The sun is his father, and the moon is his mother.”
