5-68 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Kufy, on the authority of Ishaq ibn Ibrahim, on the authority of Nasr ibn Qaboos that he had heard Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) say,

“The following people are cursed: an astrologer; a Jewish priest; a magician; a female singer and those who give them a place to live and earn an income from their work.”As-Sadiq (MGB) added, “An astrologer is like a priest; a priest is like a magician; a magician is like an atheist and an atheist goes to Hell.”The compiler of the book - may God be pleased with him - said, “What is meant by ‘an astrologer is damned’ is that the astrologer who claims that the universe has always existed, denies its Creator and doesn’t believe in the Honorable the Exalted God is damned.”
