حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ نَجْماً فِي الْفَلَكِ السَّابِعِ فَخَلَقَهُ مِنْ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ وَ سَائِرَ النُّجُومِ السِّتَّةِ الْجَارِيَاتِ مِنْ مَاءٍ حَارٍّ وَ هُوَ نَجْمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ هُوَ نَجْمُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) يَأْمُرُ بِالْخُرُوجِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الزُّهْدِ فِيهَا وَ يَأْمُرُ بِافْتِرَاشِ التُّرَابِ وَ تَوَسُّدِ اللَّبِنِ وَ لِبَاسِ الْخَشِنِ وَ أَكْلِ الْجَشِبِ وَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ نَجْماً أَقْرَبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْهُ.

<a id="_Toc492473498">H 14817</a> – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Usman who said: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-a">A</span>bu Abdullah Al-Mada’iny</span> narrated from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said that: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Created a star in the seventh orbit. So he<sup>azwj</sup> Created it from cold water and the rest of the six stars flowed from hot water, and it is the star of the Prophets<sup>as</sup>, and the successors<sup>asws</sup> and it is the star of Amir-ul-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> commanding the exit from the world, and the ascetism in it, and commanding for the dust to be the mattress, and bricks to rest upon (for a pillow), and coarse clothing, and eating the tasteless (food), and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has not Created a star more closer to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the High, than it’.
