حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرٌ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ: أَرَاهُ أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَّهُمْ " بَيْنَمَا هُمْ جُلُوسٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذْ رُمِيَ بِنَجْمٍ فَاسْتَنَارَ. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «مَا كُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا رُمِيَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا؟» قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ كُنَّا نَقُولُ: وُلِدَ اللَّيْلَةَ رَجُلٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَمَاتَ اللَّيْلَةَ رَجُلٌ عَظِيمٌ. قَالَ: " فَإِنَّهَا لَا يُرْمَى بِهَا لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّ رَبَّنَا تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ وَتَعَالَى إِذَا قَضَى أَمْرًا سَبَّحَ حَمَلَةُ الْعَرْشِ، ثُمَّ سَبَّحَ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ التَّسْبِيحُ أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، ثُمَّ قَالُوا لِلَّذِينَ يَلُونَ حَمَلَةَ الْعَرْشِ: مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟ فَيُخْبِرُونَهُمْ فَيَسْتَخْبِرُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بَعْضَهُمْ بَعْضًا حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْخَبَرُ أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَتَخْطَفُ الْجِنُّ السَّمْعَ فَيُلْقُونَهُ إِلَى أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ وَيُرْمَوْنَ. فَمَا جَاءُوا بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَهُوَ حَقٌّ. وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يَقْذِفُونَ فِيهِ وَيَزِيدُونَ " الشَّكُّ مِنْ مُبَشِّرٍ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: An Ansari Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that once, while they were sitting in the gathering of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a star was suddenly shot and shone brightly. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them: "What did you used to say in the Jahiliyyah when you saw something like this?" They said: "Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) know best. We used to say that a great man has been born tonight, or a great man has died." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not shot for anyone's death or life. Rather, when our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, decrees a matter, the bearers of the Throne glorify Him, then the inhabitants of the heaven next to them glorify Him, until the glorification reaches the inhabitants of the lowest heaven. Then those next to the bearers of the Throne ask them: 'What did your Lord say?' They tell them, and so the inhabitants of the heavens ask one another for the news until it reaches the lowest heaven. There the jinn snatch what they hear and cast it to their allies, and they are pelted (with flames). Whatever they bring as it is, is true, but they mix lies into it and add to it." The doubt in this narration (about al-Zuhri's wording in the chain) is from the narrator named Mubashshir.
