The aforementioned attributed to Abu Hurayrah: "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked Jibreel, peace be upon him, saying: 'O Jibreel, how many years have you lived?'... 'By the might of my Lord, I am that star,'" is a false Hadith with no origin, cited by ignorant Sufis. Ibn al-Qayyim said: "Fabricated Hadiths are characterized by darkness, weakness, and absurd exaggerations that proclaim their fabrication." Sheikh Abdullah bin Al-Siddiq Al-Ghumari said: "This is an ugly lie; may Allah disfigure whoever fabricated and invented it."
