Hadīth of the Stars (an-Nujūm)

Regarding the hadīth: ((The stars are a means of safety to the people of the heavens. When the star goes from the sky, it is a promise to the people of the heavens. The People of my House are a means of safety to the People of the earth. When the People of my House go from the earth, it is a promise to the people of the earth)), it is narrated by Imam al-Hādi Yahya bin al-Hussein, upon him be peace, in Al-Ahkām, „Ali bin Musa ar-Riža on the authority of his ancestors, Abu Tālib, al-Murshid Billah, al-Mawfiq Billah, al-Mansur Billah, and the author of Al-Jawā’ir al-‘Aqdīn on the authority of Salama bin al-Akwa‟. He stated: “This is related by Ibn Abi Shayba and Abu Ya‟la. At-Tabari also narrated this in Dhakhā`ir al-A’qba on the authority of Salama.” The author of Al-Jawā’ir also narrated it on the authority of Anas and states:

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny, said: ((The stars are a means of safety to the people of the heavens. When the star goes from the sky, it is a promise to the people of the heavens. The People of my House are a means of safety to the people of the earth. When the People of my House go from the earth, it is a promise to the people of the earth)). This is also related by Ibn Mudhaffar from a statement of „Abdullah bin Ibrāhīm al-Ghaffari.

It is also narrated on the authority of „Ali Bin Abi Tālib, upon him be peace, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny, said: ((The stars are a means of safety…)) with similar wording. Ahmed related this in Al-Manāqib. It is also in the Dhakhā`ir al-A’qba with the same wording.

It is narrated on the authority of Qatada—„Atā‟—Ibn „Abbās that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny, said:

((The stars are a means of safety for the people of the earth from drowning. The People of my House are a means of safety for my community whenever they differ. Consequently, when the tribes of Arabs differ from them, there will arise the party of Satan)).

Al-Hākim related this. He also said in his Al-Mustadrak that the chain of authorities is authentic (sahīh isnād). At-Tabarāni related this hadīth, as well as al-Hākim al-Jushmi on the authority of Salama.
