حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ أَنْبَأَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسًا فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ: مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَرُمِيَ بِنَجْمٍ عَظِيمٍ فَاسْتَنَارَ، قَالَ: ((مَا كُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ إِذَا كَانَ مِثْلُ هَذَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟)) قَالَ: كُنَّا نَقُولُ: يُولَدُ عَظِيمٌ أَوْ يَمُوتُ عَظِيمٌ، قُلْتُ لِلزُّهْرِيِّ: أَكَانَ يُرْمَى بِهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَلَكِنْ غُلِّظَتْ حِينَ بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُرْمَى بِهَا لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّ رَبَّنَا تَبَارَكَ اسْمُهُ إِذَا قَضَى أَمْرًا سَبَّحَ (وَفِي لَفْظٍ: سَبَّحَهُ) حَمَلَةُ الْعَرْشِ ثُمَّ سَبَّحَ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ حَتَّى بَلَغَ التَّسْبِيحُ هَذِهِ السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا، ثُمَّ يَسْتَخْبِرُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَ حَمَلَةَ الْعَرْشِ فَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَ حَمَلَةَ الْعَرْشِ لِحَمَلَةِ الْعَرْشِ: مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟ فَيُخْبِرُونَهُمْ، وَيُخْبِرُ أَهْلُ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ سَمَاءً حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ الْخَبَرُ إِلَى هَذِهِ السَّمَاءِ وَيَخْطِفُ الْجِنُّ السَّمْعَ فَيُرْمَوْنَ، فَمَا جَاءُوا بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَهُوَ حَقٌّ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يَقْذِفُونَ وَيَزِيدُونَ)) (وَفِي لَفْظٍ: وَيَنْقُصُونَ) قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: (يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْإِمَامِ أَحْمَدَ) قَالَ أَبِي: قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ: وَيَخْطِفُ الْجِنُّ وَيُرْمَوْنَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was present among a group of companions. Abdur Razzaq said: These were Ansari people with whom you were sitting. Meanwhile, a very large star was shot, and its light spread. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When this used to happen in the time of ignorance, what did you say? They said: We used to say that either a great man has been born or a great person has died. I asked Zuhri: Were stars also shot in the time of ignorance? He said: Yes, but when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, their intensity increased. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These stars are not shot because of anyone’s death or life. The reason is that when our Lord, Blessed and Exalted, decides upon a matter, the angels who carry the Throne say “Subhan Allah,” then the angels of the nearest heaven say “Subhan Allah,” until this beautiful sound of “Subhan Allah” spreads to the heaven of the world. Then the angels of the heavens try to obtain information from the Throne-bearing angels near them. Those near the Throne ask them: What has your Lord said? They inform them, and each group of angels of the heavens informs those of the lower heaven, until the news reaches the angels of the heaven of the world. Meanwhile, the jinn snatch a portion of this information by stealing, and a star is thrown at them. Whatever part of the news they manage to bring, that is true, but they mix lies with it and exaggerate, and according to another narration, they decrease from it. Abdur Razzaq said: The jinn snatch the words of revelation, but then a star is thrown at them.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In some narrations, there is also this addition: When Allah Ta'ala decides upon a matter, the bearers of the Throne (hamalat al-‘arsh) say "Subhan Allah" (Glory be to Allah), then those angels who are near them also say "Subhan Allah." This glorification (tasbih), circulating through the heavens, reaches the lowest heaven (the heaven of the world). The angels who are near the bearers of the Throne then ask the bearers: "What has your Lord said?" They reply: "He has spoken the truth, and He is the Most High, the Most Great." Then they inform them of what He has said, and the inhabitants of the heavens inform one another of this news, until this information reaches the lowest heaven. Here, the devils (shayatin) come and they also try to listen. If they manage to hear something, they convey it to their friends—the soothsayers, astrologers, and others—and they mix many lies with it. The part of their statement that turns out to be correct is that which they have snatched from the angels.
This is the system of Allah Ta'ala; He alone has given the jinn such power that they climb upon one another and thus reach the lowest heaven.
