Arabic text

15 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد البندنيجي قال: حدثنا عبيد الله بن موسى العلوي العباسي، عن موسى بن سلام، عن أحمد بن محمد بن أبي نصر، عن عبد الرحمن، عن الخشاب، عن أبي عبد الله عن آبائه قال: قال رسول الله: مثَلُ أهل بيتي مثل نجوم السماء؛ كلما غاب نجمٌ طلع نجم حتى إذا نجم منها طلع فرمقتُموه بالأعين وأشرتُم إليه بالأصابع أتاه ملَك الموت فذهب به، ثم لبثتم في ذلك سبتاً من دهركم واستوت بنو عبد المطلب ولم يُدرَ أيّ من أيّ، فعند ذلك يبدو نجمُكم فاحمدوا الله واقبلوه.

Translation

(15) Ali bin Ahmad al-Bandaneeji narrated from Obaydillah bin Musa al-Alawi al-Abbasi from Musa bin Sallam from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Abu Nasr from Abdurrahman from al-Khashshab from Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) from his fathers (as) that the Prophet (S) had said: “The example of my family is like the stars of the sky. Whenever a star sets another shines until a certain star shines and you glance at it and point at it with your fingers then the Angel of Death comes to take it (him) with him. After that you remain a period of time. The progeny of Abdul Muttalib become the same in this regard and none will be distinguished from the other then your star will reappear. Praise Allah and accept it!”
