Not pointing to, or looking at, falling stars or lightning
Context
THE HADITH IN the previous chapter relates to this. Ash-Shāfi‘ī reported in al-Umm, [1].with its isnād from someone above suspicion, that ‘Urwah ibn az-Zubayr 
said: “If any of you sees lightning, he should not point towards it, but he should describe it and give its characteristics.” Ash-Shāfi‘ī said that the Arabs continued to disapprove of doing so.
