Hadith 22549

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتِنَا ، " فَرَأَى كَوْكَبًا انْقَضَّ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ : إِنَّا قَدْ نُهِينَا أَنْ نُتْبِعَهُ أَبْصَارَنَا " .
Muhammad says that once we were sitting on the roof of our house with Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him). During this time, a star fell, and people began to look at it. So Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We have been forbidden from chasing it with our eyes."
