Musnad Abi Ya'la 7182 — Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا الدَّوْرَقِيُّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرٌ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أُرَاهُ قَالَ: 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، قَالُوا: كُنَّا نَقُولُ: وُلِدَ اللَّيْلَةَ رَجُلٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَمَاتَ اللَّيْلَةَ رَجُلٌ عَظِيمٌ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: " فَإِنَّهَا لَا يُرْمَى بِهَا لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ ، وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّ رَبَّنَا عز وجل إِذَا قَضَى أَمْرًا يُسَبِّحُ حَمَلَةُ الْعَرْشِ، ثُمَّ يُسَبِّحُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ التَّسْبِيحُ أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا لِلَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ - حَمَلَةُ الْعَرْشِ -: مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟ فَيُخْبِرُونَهُمْ وَيَسْتَخْبِرُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاوَاتِ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْخَبَرُ أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، فَيَخْطَفُ الْجِنُّ السَّمْعَ، فَيُلْقُونَهُ إِلَى أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ، وَيُرْمَوْنَ، فَمَا جَاءُوا بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَهُوَ حَقٌّ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يَقْرِفُونَ مَعَهُ، أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ "، الشَّكُّ مِنْ مُبَشِّرٍ
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) relates that an Ansari Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed him that once they were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when suddenly a star shot down and blazed with light. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them: "What did you use to say in the days of Ignorance when a star shot like this?" They said: Allah and His Messenger know best; (however,) we used to say: "Tonight a great man has been born, or a great personality has died." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In reality it is not thrown for anyone's death or life. Rather, when our Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, decrees a matter, the bearers of the Throne glorify (Him); then the inhabitants of the heaven immediately after them glorify (Him), until this glorification reaches the inhabitants of the heaven who are next to them (in the lower level). Then the angels who come after the bearers of the Throne ask them: 'What did your Lord say?' And they inform them, and the inhabitants of the heavens keep asking one another for the news until this news reaches the lowest heaven. Then the jinn snatch the speech (by stealth) and pass it on to their agents, and (flames of stars) are thrown at them. Whatever news they bring exactly as it is, that is true; but they mix lies with it, or add to it." Regarding the last words of the hadith, "yaqrifun" (they mix lies) or "yazidun" (they add), the narrator Mubashshir was in doubt.
