11-2 Abu Muhammad Abdullah ibn Hamid narrated that Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ja’far quoted ibn Arafat, i.e. Al-Hassan, on the authority of Al-Hikam ibn Zahir, on the authority of Al-Sadi, on the authority of Abdul Rahman ibn Sabit al-Qurashi, on the authority of Jabir ibn Abdullah,

“A Jew called Bostan went to see the Prophet (MGB). Bostan asked the Prophet (MGB), “O Muhammad! Can you tell me the names of the stars which Joseph (MGB) saw prostrating to him?” The Prophet (MGB) did not respond to him on that day until Gabriel (MGB) descended down and informed the Prophet (MGB) about the names of the stars. Then the Prophet (MGB) called Bostan in. When he came in, the Prophet (MGB) asked him, ‘Will you submit to Islam if I inform you about the names (of the stars)?’ Bostan replied, ‘Yes.’ Then the Prophet (MGB) said, ‘Jirban, Al-Tariq, Al-Zial, Zulkanafan, Qabis, Vas’sab, Amoodan, Al-Faylaq, Al-Misbah, Al-Zaruh, Zul-Qar’e, Al-Zia’e and Al-Nur were the stars which he (MGB) saw in the sky prostrating to him. When Joseph (MGB) told Jacob (MGB) about that, Jacob (MGB) replied, ‘This is an affair which Honorable the Exalted God shall take care of in the future.’ The Jew called Bostan said, ‘I swear by God that these were the names of those stars.’���
