The Shaykh :"Then the Star of the Star of Happiness appeared to him, and it became his guide" Yes.
"Then the Star of the Star of Happiness appeared to him, and it became his guide, not the Star of Dabran"
Dabran is a red star that follows the Pleiades. The Pleiades are well known... Dabran is a red star among the seasonal stars that comes after it. As for Sa'd al-Sa'd, it is the third of the three Sa'ds. These are what the common people in our language call the Scorpion. Do you know the scorpions that appear at the end of winter? Yes. There is Sa'd al-Dhabih, Sa'd al-Bal'ah, and Sa'd al-Sa'd, the last of which is Sa'd al-Sa'd. This is good; it occurs at the beginning of the spring season. Therefore, the omen is good, meaning that when this star appears, the common people say, "Now good has come." This is not because the star brings good or evil, but because it is a sign of a good season or weather, as they say in the current language. So this is Sa'd al-Sa'd. Thus, the author (may Allah have mercy on him) says:
"Then the Star of the Star of Happiness appeared to him, and it became his guide, not the Star of Dabran"
Dabran usually marks the beginning of the heat.
