Hadith 888
۞
A shaykh from the people of hadith called Ahmad b. al-Hasan al-Qattan, known as Abi `Ali b. `Abd Rabbih al-`Adl narrated this hadith to us. He said: Abu’l `Abbas Ahmad b. Yahya b. Zakariyya al-Qattan narrated to us. He said: Bakr b. `Abdullah b. Habibi narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Ishaq al-Kufi al-Ju`fi narrated to us. He said: Ibrahim b. `Abdullah al-Sajzi Abu Ishaq narrated to us from Yahya b. al-Husayn al-Mashhadi from Abi Harun al-`Abdi from Rabi`a al-Sa`di. He said
I asked Ibn `Abbas about the saying of Allah, “By the star when it fades away” (53:1) He said: It is the [shooting] star that came down with the rise of Fajr into the room of `Ali b. Abi Talib. My father al-`Abbas liked for that [shooting] star to fall into his house in order to possess the deputyship, vicegerency, and Imamate. However, Allah refused that for anyone other than `Ali b. Abi Talib (as), and that is the favour of Allah, who gives it to whomever He pleases.
6 - وحدثنا بهذا الحديث شيخ لاهل الحديث يقال له أحمد بن الحسن القطان المعروف بأبي علي بن عبد ربه العدل، قال: حدثنا أبو العباس أحمد بن يحيى ابن زكريا القطان، قال: حدثنا بكر بن عبد الله بن حبيب، قال: حدثنا محمد بن إسحاق الكوفي الجعفي، قال: حدثنا إبراهيم بن عبد الله السجزي (5) أبو إسحاق، عن يحيى بن الحسين المشهدي، عن أبي هارون العبدي، عن ربيعة السعدي، قال
سألت بن عباس عن قول الله عزوجل: (والنجم إذا هوى) (1) قال: هو النجم الذي هوى مع طلوع الفجر فسقط في حجرة علي بن أبي طالب، وكان أبي العباس يحب أن يسقط ذلك النجم في داره، فيحوز الوصية والخلافة والامامة، ولكن أبى الله أن يكون ذاك (2) غير علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام)، وذلك فضل الله يؤتيه من يشاء (3).
