وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ؓ قَالَ:

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - قَدْ بَرَّأَ هَذِهِ الْجَزِيرَةَ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ، وَلَكِنْ أَخَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ تُضِلَّهُمُ النُّجُومُ. قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَيْفَ تُضِلُّهُمُ النُّجُومُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: يَنْزِلُ الْغَيْثُ فَيَقُولُونَ: مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا

✧ I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Madinah. He turned toward it and said: 'Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, has purified this island from polytheism, but I fear for them that the stars may lead them astray.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how can the stars lead them astray?' He ﷺ said: 'Rain falls and they say: We were given rain by such-and-such a star.'
