2402 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي قَدِ اُبْتُلِيتُ بِهَذَا اَلْعِلْمِ فَأُرِيدُ اَلْحَاجَةَ فَإِذَا نَظَرْتُ إِلَى اَلطَّالِعِ وَ رَأَيْتُ اَلطَّالِعَ اَلشَّرَّ جَلَسْتُ وَ لَمْ أَذْهَبْ فِيهَا وَ إِذَا رَأَيْتُ اَلطَّالِعَ اَلْخَيْرَ ذَهَبْتُ فِي اَلْحَاجَةِ فَقَالَ لِي «تَقْضِي » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَحْرِقْ كُتُبَكَ».
Hadith.2402 - It is narrated from Abdul Malik ibn A'yan who said:
"I said to Abu Abdullah 
'I have been tested with this knowledge (of astrology). When I intend to fulfill a need and observe the rising star, if I see it as unfavorable, I sit and do not proceed. But if I see it as favorable, I proceed with my need.'
Imam said to me: 'Do you accomplish it?'
I said: 'Yes.'
Imam said: 'Burn your books.'"
