When he had finished he turned to the people and asked: “Do you know what your Lord said?” They replied: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He continued: “He said: ‘My servants have arisen, some believing in Me and some disbelieving in Me. Those who said: “We have been granted rain because of the bounty and mercy of Allah” are believers in Me and disbelievers in the stars. Whoever said: “We have been granted rain by such-and-such a star” is a disbeliever in Me and a believer in the stars.’” [2].
