Hadith 6824
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَا اقْتَبَسَ رَجُلٌ عِلْمًا مِنَ النُّجُومِ إِلَّا اقْتَبَسَ شُعْبَةً مِنَ السِّحْرِ مَا زَادَ زَادَ)).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever learns astrology has learned a branch of magic; the more he increases in learning astrology, the more he increases in learning magic.
Hadith 6825
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنِ اقْتَبَسَ عِلْمًا مِنَ النُّجُومِ، اقْتَبَسَ شُعْبَةً مِنْ سِحْرٍ، مَا زَادَ زَادَ، وَمَا زَادَ زَادَ)).
(Second chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever acquires the knowledge of astrology has acquired a branch of magic; the more he learns astrology, the more he increases his knowledge of magic. As the knowledge of astrology increases, so does the knowledge of magic.
Hadith 6826
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَوْ أَمْسَكَ اللَّهُ الْقَطْرَ عَنِ النَّاسِ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَهُ لَأَصْبَحَتْ طَائِفَةٌ بِهِ كَافِرِينَ يَقُولُونَ: مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ الْمِجْدَحِ)).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: If Allah Almighty were to withhold rain from the people for seven years and then send it down, still a group of people would disbelieve in Allah Almighty; they would say that rain was sent down upon them because of the star *Mijdah*.
Hadith 6827
عَنْ سَلْمَانَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَيُبَيِّتُ الْقَوْمُ بِالنِّعْمَةِ ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُونَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَافِرُونَ يَقُولُونَ: مُطِرْنَا بِنَجْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا)). قَالَ: فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ فَقَالَ: وَنَحْنُ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty bestows blessings upon the people by sending rain at night, but when morning comes, most people, in disbelief, say: "It rained upon us because of such-and-such star." Muhammad bin Ibrahim says: When I narrated this hadith to Sa'id bin al-Musayyib, he also said: We ourselves heard this from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him).
