٩ـ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ قِسْمَةُ أَرْضٍ وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ صَاحِبَ نُجُومٍ وَكَانَ يَتَوَخَّى سَاعَةَ السُّعُودِ فَيَخْرُجُ فِيهَا وَأَخْرُجُ أَنَا فِي سَاعَةِ النُّحُوسِ فَاقْتَسَمْنَا فَخَرَجَ لِي خَيْرُ الْقِسْمَيْنِ فَضَرَبَ الرَّجُلُ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ قُلْتُ وَيْلَ الآخَرِ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ إِنِّي صَاحِبُ نُجُومٍ أَخْرَجْتُكَ فِي سَاعَةِ النُّحُوسِ وَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا فِي سَاعَةِ السُّعُودِ ثُمَّ قَسَمْنَا فَخَرَجَ لَكَ خَيْرُ الْقِسْمَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ أَ لا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ حَدَّثَنِي بِهِ أَبِي قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ الله عَنْهُ نَحْسَ يَوْمِهِ فَلْيَفْتَتِحْ يَوْمَهُ بِصَدَقَةٍ يُذْهِبُ الله بِهَا عَنْهُ نَحْسَ يَوْمِهِ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُذْهِبَ الله عَنْهُ نَحْسَ لَيْلَتِهِ فَلْيَفْتَتِحْ لَيْلَتَهُ بِصَدَقَةٍ يَدْفَعُ الله عَنْهُ نَحْسَ لَيْلَتِهِ فَقُلْتُ وَإِنِّي افْتَتَحْتُ خُرُوجِي بِصَدَقَةٍ فَهَذَا خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ عِلْمِ النُّجُومِ.
9. Through the same chain of narrators, it is narrated from Ali ibn Asbat from the chain of his narrators who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said a man and I shared a piece of land. The man was an astrologer. He would find the lucky hour for his coming out of his home and an unlucky hour for me to come out of my home. We divided it, and my share was the better one. The man struck his hand against the other and said, ‘I have never seen such a day!’ I then said, ‘Woe upon the others. What is the matter?’ He said, ‘I am an astrologer. I asked you to come out from your home in an unlucky hour, and I came out in a lucky hour. We divided it, but your share came out to be the better one.’ I then asked, ‘Can I narrate to you a Hadith my father narrated to me? The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “If one has a wish before Allah to remove the evil of an unlucky hour from him, he should begin his day by giving charity. For giving charity, Allah removes the evil of the unlucky hour from him. If one has a wish before Allah to remove the evil of the unlucky hour of the night from him, he should begin his night by giving charity. For giving charity, Allah removes the evil of the unlucky hour of the night from him.” I began my coming out by giving charity. This is better than your astrology.’”
