He -asws said...
He -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’’.

He said to him -asws , ‘O Amir Al-Momineen -asws ! Do not travel in this hour, and travel in three hours past from the day!’ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ لِمَ ذَاكَ Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘And why is that so?’ قَالَ لِأَنَّكَ إِنْ سِرْتَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ أَصَابَكَ وَ أَصَابَ أَصْحَابَكَ أَذًى وَ ضُرٌّ شَدِيدٌ وَ إِنْ سِرْتَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الَّتِي أَمَرْتُكَ ظَفِرْتَ وَ ظَهَرْتَ وَ أَصَبْتَ كُلَّ مَا طَلَبْتَ He said, ‘Because you -asws , if you -asws were to travel during this time, you -asws and your -asws companions would be afflicted with injuries and severe harm, and if you -asws were to travel during the timings which I am instructing you -asws with, you -asws shall be victorious and prevail and attain all what you -asws seek’.
