سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلا أُقْسِمُ بِمَواقِعِ النُّجُومِ قَالَ أُعَظِّمُ إِثْمَ مَنْ يَحْلِفُ بِهَا قَالَ وَ كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يُعَظِّمُونَ الْحَرَمَ وَ لَا يُقْسِمُونَ بِهِ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ حُرْمَةَ اللَّهِ فِيهِ وَ لَا يَعْرِضُونَ لِمَنْ كَانَ فِيهِ وَ لَا يُخْرِجُونَ مِنْهُ دَابَّةً فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لا أُقْسِمُ بِهذَا الْبَلَدِ وَ أَنْتَ حِلٌّ بِهذَا الْبَلَدِ وَ والِدٍ وَ ما وَلَدَ قَالَ يُعَظِّمُونَ الْبَلَدَ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا بِهِ وَ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ فِيهِ حُرْمَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ismail Bin marrar, from Yunus, from one of our companions who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:56#h75"><a href="/books/quran:56#h75">[56:75]</a></a> So do not swear by the places of the stars</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A great sin upon the one who swears by it. And the people of the Pre-Islamic period were revering the Sanctuary and were not swearing by it, permitting its sanctity for the Sake of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> in it, and were not violating to the one who was in it, nor expelling an animal from it. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:90#h1"><a href="/books/quran:90#h1">[90:1]</a></a> Indeed! I swear by this city <a href="/#/books/quran:90#h2"><a href="/books/quran:90#h2">[90:2]</a></a> And you are a dweller of this city <a href="/#/books/quran:90#h3"><a href="/books/quran:90#h3">[90:3]</a></a> And father and son</span>. They were revering the city if they were to swear by it, and they permitted in it the (violation of) sanctity of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>’.
