حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ أَمْرًا فِي السَّمَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ضَرَبَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا خُضْعَانًا لِقَوْلِهِ كَأَنَّهُ سِلْسِلَةٌ عَلَى صَفْوَانٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا فُزِّعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ[ سورة سبأ آية 23] قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَيَسْمَعُهَا مُسْتَرِقُو السَّمْعِ بَعْضُهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيَسْمَعُ الْكَلِمَةَ فَيُلْقِيهَا إِلَى مَنْ تَحْتَهُ فَرُبَّمَا أَدْرَكَهُ الشِّهَابُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُلْقِيَهَا إِلَى الَّذِي تَحْتَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيُلْقِيهَا عَلَى لِسَانِ الْكَاهِنِ أَوِ السَّاحِرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يُدْرَكْ حَتَّى يُلْقِيَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيَكْذِبُ مَعَهَا مِائَةَ كَذْبَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَصْدُقُ تِلْكَ الْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي سُمِعَتْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ .

The Prophet said: When Allah decrees a matter in heaven, the angels beat their wings in submission to his decree (with a sound) like a chain beating a rock. Then When fear is banished from their hearts, they say: 'What is it that your Lord has said?' They say: 'The truth. And He is The Most High, The Most Great. He said: 'Then the eavesdroppers (from among the jinn) listen out for that, one above the other, so (one of them) hears the words and passes it on to the one beneath him. The Shihab (shooting star) may strike him before he can pass it on to the one beneath him and the latter can pass it on to the soothsayer or sorcerer, or it may not strike him until he has passed it on. And he ads one hundred lies to it, and only that word which was overheard from the heavens is true.
