ahmad:22549Yazīd b. Hārūn > Hishām > Muḥammad

[Machine] We were with Abi Qatadah on the rooftop of our house when he saw a falling star. We all looked at it and Abi Qatadah said, "Indeed, we have been forbidden from following it with our sight."  

أحمد:٢٢٥٤٩حَدَّثَنَا 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
