He -asws (Abu Abdullah -asws ) said: ‘It is such a knowledge, it’s benefit is little and it’s harm is a lot, because one cannot repel by it the Pre-determination, nor can one save the hazards by it. If the astrologer were to inform with the afflictions, the guarding cannot protect one from the destiny, and if he were to inform with goodness, one is not able to hasten it, and if evil were to occur with it, it would not be possible to turn it away.
And the astrologer contradicts Allah -azwj regarding His -azwj Knowledge by his alleging that he can repel the Decree of Allah -azwj away from His -azwj creatures’ – the Hadeeth’’.
(an extract) [1] النُّجُومُ، رُوِّيتُ بِعِدَّةِ طُرُقٍ إِلَى يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي جَامِعِهِ الصَّغِيرِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ عِلْمِ النُّجُومِ مَا هُوَ فَقَالَ هُوَ عِلْمٌ مِنْ عِلْمِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (The book) ‘Al Nujoum’ – It has been reported by a number of ways to Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman in (the book) ‘Jamie Al Sagheer’, by his chain, said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah -asws , ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws !
Inform me about knowledge of the stars (astrology), what is it?’ He -asws said: ‘It is a knowledge from the knowledge of the Prophets -as . قَالَ فَقُلْتُ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع يَعْلَمُهُ فَقَالَ كَانَ أَعْلَمَ النَّاسِ بِهِ.
