Arabic text

17 - حدثنا محمد بن يعقوب الكليني قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن حنان بن سدير، عن معروف بن خربوذ، عن أبي جعفر أنه قال: إنما نحن كنجوم السماء؛ كلّما غاب نجمٌ طلع نجم حتى إذا أشرتم بأصابعكم وملتُم بحواجبكم غيّب الله عنكم نجمَكم، فاستوت بنو عبد المطلب فلم يُعرف أيّ من أيّ، فإذا طلع نجمكم فاحمدوا ربكم.

Translation

(17) Muhammad bin Ya’qoob al-Kulayni narrated from Ali bin Ibraheem bin Hashim from his father from Hannan bin Sadeer from Ma’roof bin Kharrabooth that Abu Ja’far al-Baqir had said: “We are like the stars of the sky. Whenever a star sets another shines until when you point with your fingers at a shining star and turn your eyebrows towards it, Allah takes your star away from you. Then the progeny of Abdul Muttalib become the same that no one is distinguished from the other. If your star reappears, then praise your God!”

Translation: Abdullah al-Shahin — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
