[3] Introduction: – الْإِحْتِجَاجُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ: سَأَلَ الزِّنْدِيقُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ مَا تَقُولُ فِيمَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا التَّدْبِيرَ الَّذِي يَظْهَرُ فِي هَذَا الْعَالَمِ تَدْبِيرُ النُّجُومِ السَّبْعَةِ (The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – From Hisham Bin Al Hakam who said, ‘The Atheist asked Abu Abdullah -asws .

He said, ‘What are you -asws saying regarding the one who claims that this management which is apparent in this world is the management of the seven stars?’ قَالَ ع يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى دَلِيلِ أَنَّ هَذَا الْعَالَمَ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ الْعَالَمَ الْأَصْغَرَ مِنْ تَدْبِيرِ النُّجُومِ الَّتِي تَسْبَحُ فِي الْفَلَكِ وَ تَدُورُ حَيْثُ دَارَتْ مُتْعِبَةً لَا تَفْتُرُ وَ سَائِرَةً لَا تَقِفُ He -asws said: ‘They would be needy to evidence that this large world and the small world are from the management by the stars which are floating in the orbits and are rotating where they rotate tirelessly not taking and they are travelling, not pausing’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ إِنَّ كُلَّ نَجْمٍ مِنْهَا مُوَكَّلٌ مُدَبَّرٌ فَهِيَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْعَبِيدِ الْمَأْمُورِينَ الْمَنْهِيِّينَ فَلَوْ كَانَتْ قَدِيمَةً أَزَلِيَّةً لَمْ تَتَغَيَّرْ مِنْ حَالٍ إِلَى حَالٍ Then he -asws said: ‘Each star from these is allocated with a manager, so it is at the status of the slave commanded and prohibited. If it was ancient, eternal, they would not be changing from a state to a state’.

قَالَ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِي عِلْمِ النُّجُومِ He (an atheist) said, ‘So what are you -asws saying regarding knowledge of the stars (astrology)?’ قَالَ هُوَ عِلْمٌ قَلَّتْ مَنَافِعُهُ وَ كَثُرَتْ مَضَرَّاتُهُ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُدْفَعُ بِهِ الْمَقْدُورُ وَ لَا يُتَّقَى بِهِ الْمَحْذُورُ إِنْ أَخْبَرَ الْمُنَجِّمُ بِالْبَلَاءِ لَمْ يُنْجِهِ التَّحَرُّزُ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ وَ إِنْ أَخْبَرَ هُوَ بِخَيْرٍ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ تَعْجِيلَهُ وَ إِنْ حَدَثَ بِهِ سُوءٌ لَمْ يُمْكِنْهُ صَرْفُهُ وَ الْمُنَجِّمُ يُضَادُّ اللَّهَ فِي عِلْمِهِ بِزَعْمِهِ أَنَّهُ يَرُدُّ قَضَاءَ اللَّهِ عَنْ خَلْقِهِ الْخَبَرَ.
