Assalamualaikum Ya Aba Sadiq a.s peace be upon You

Volume 4 of the sahih bukhari the book of the begining of creation in the chapter 'about the stars' following hadith is mentioned

AbU Qatada mentioning Allah's Statement:
"And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps..." (V.67:5)
said, "The creation of these stars is for three purposes, and they are: 1) as decoration of the nearest heaven, 2) as missiles to hit the devils, and 3) as signs to guide travellers. So, if anybody tries to find a different interpretation, he is mistaken and just wastes his efforts and troubles himself with what is beyond his limited knowledge."

As the hadith tells that the stars were made for 1) decoration to the nearest heaven
2) as missiles to hit the devils
3) as signs for travellers to find way

so the hadith says the stars are for nothing more or less reason than mentioned so what about the aliens that are living on some these stars. Do the stars were made for the aliens and other creatures also?
