In whoever’s house this star falls, he will be my khalifah after me
عن عبد الله بن الحسين ابن أحمد بن جعفر قال أنبأنا أبو القاسم نصر بن علي الفقيه قال أنبأنا أحمد بن إبراهيم بن أحمد قال حدثنا محمد بن الحسين المعروف بابن الحجحبا قال حدثنا محمد بن جعفر بن علي التميمي قال حدثنا أبو محمد عبد الله بن منير الدامغاني قال حدثنا المسيب بن واضح عن محمد بن مروان عن الكلبي عن أبي صالح عن ابن عباس قال لما عرج بالنبي صلى الله عليه و سلم إلى السماء السابعة و أراه الله من العجائب في كل سماء فلما أصبح جعل يحدث الناس من عجائب ربه فكذبه من أهل مكة من كذبه و صدقه من صدقه فعند ذلك انقض نجم من السماء فقال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم في دار من وقع هذا النجم فهو خليفتي من بعدي قال فطلبوا ذلك النجم فوجدوه في دار علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه فقال أهل مكة ضل محمد و غوى و هوى إلى أهل بيته و مال إلى ابن عمه علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه فعند ذلك نزلت هذه السورة وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوىٰ مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوىٰ
On the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn al Hussain ibn Ahmed ibn Jafar who says―Abu al Qasim Nasr ibn ‘Ali al Faqih informed us saying―Ahmed ibn Ibrahim ibn Ahmed informed us saying―Muhammad ibn al Hussain known as Ibn al Hajhaba narrated to us saying―al Musayyib ibn Wadih narrated to us from―Muhammad ibn Marwan from―al Kalbi from―Abu Salih from―Ibn ‘Abbas who reported:
When the Nabi salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam was lifted to the seventh heaven and Allah showed him some phenomenon in each heaven. The next morning he began relating to the people some of the phenomenon of his Rabb. Some of the people of Makkah belied him while others believed him. Just then, a star fell from the sky. The Nabi salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “In whoever’s house this star falls, he will be my khalifah after me.”
They searched for the star and found it in ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib’s radiya Llahu ‘anhu house. The people of Makkah commented, “Muhammad has strayed and erred. He is fond of his family and has inclined towards ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib radiya Llahu ‘anhu. Upon this, this Surah was revealed:
By the star when it descends, your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred.[1]
Ibn al Jawzi comments:
This hadith is mawdu’, without doubt. How daring is the fabricator and how startling is his fabrication! There are layers of darkness in the isnad. Abu Salih Badham is one of them. He is a kadhab. And so is al Kalbi and Muhammad ibn Marwan al Suddi. Al Kalbi is suspected of concocting it. Abu Hatim and Ibn Hibban said, “Al Kalbi is from those who say that ‘Ali did not die and will return to the world. When they see a cloud they say that Amir al Mu’minin is in it.” It is not permissible to use him as proof.
He also stated:
What manifests the stupidity of the fabricator of this hadith is that he attributed it to Ibn ‘Abbas radiya Llahu ‘anhuma who was only two years of age at the time of Mi’raj. So how did he witness this incident and narrate it?[2]
