Qatadah narrated: Allah created the stars for three purposes: as adornment for the heavens, missiles for devils, and signs for guidance. Whoever interprets them otherwise errs, wastes their share, and takes on what they do not know [Narrated by Bukhari, as a comment].
In Razin’s narration: They take on what does not concern them, what they have no knowledge of, and what prophets and angels could not know. Ar-Rabi’ said similarly, adding: Allah did not place anyone’s life, sustenance, or death in a star; they fabricate lies against Allah and rely on stars.
