٥٢۔ كِتَابُ الْقَسَامَةِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes knowledge from the stars, he has taken a branch of sorcery. And whatever increases, increases." Isma'il reported to us about it from Ali in another place, and he said in it about Ibn Abbas that he said, "I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying," and then he mentioned the hadith.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنِ اقْتَبَسَ عِلْمًا مِنَ النُّجُومِ اقْتَبَسَ شُعْبَةً مِنَ السِّحْرِ فَمَا زَادَ زَادَ قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا بِهِ عَلِيٌّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ فَقَالَ فِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
[Machine] I don't know who did that in the sight of Allah among the creatures that have passed in the written book of seeking rain. What Ash-Shafi'i may Allah have mercy on him said in seeking rain through various means, and in that there is an explanation of what constitutes disbelief and what does not constitute disbelief.
مَا أَدْرِي مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ قَدْ مَضَى فِي كِتَابِ الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ مَا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ بِالْأَنْوَاءِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ بَيَانُ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْهُ كُفْرًا وَمَا لَا يَكُونُ مِنْهُ كُفْرًا
