Qatada said Allah most high created these stars for three purposes; He made them an adornment for the sky, missiles for the devils, and signs by which people find their way. If anyone explains them differently he makes a mistake, squanders what is allotted to him, and occupies himself with something he does not know. Bukhari transmitted it without a full isnad. Razln’s version has, “occupies himself with what does not concern him, what he has no knowledge of, and what prophets and angels are incapable of knowing.” On the authority of ar-Rabi’* there is something to the same effect with the addition, “I swear by Allah that Allah has not set in a star anyone’s life, provision, or death. They are only speaking lies against Allah and attributing causes to the stars.” * Ar-Rabi’ b. Ziyad, Qatada's authority.
