وعن معاوية بن الحكم رضي الله عنه قال: قلت يا رسول الله إني حديث عهد بجاهلية، وقد جاء الله تعالى بالإسلام، وإن منا رجالا يأتون الكهان؟ قال: "فلا تأتهم" قلت: ومنا رجال يتطيرون؟ قال: "ذلك شيء يجدونه في صدورهم، فلا يصدهم" قلت: ومنا رجال يخطون؟ قال: "كان نبي من الأنبياء يخط، فمن وافق خطه، فذاك" ((رواه مسلم)).
Narrated Mu'awiyah bin Al-Hakam (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have recently emerged from ignorance and Allah has favoured me with Islam. There are still some men among us who visit the soothsayers to consult them (on matters relating to the future)." He (ﷺ) replied, "Do not visit them." I said: "There are some men who are guided by omens." He replied, "These are the ideas which come up in their minds but you should not be influenced by them (i.e., these things) should not prevent them from pursuing their works." I said: "There are some men who practise divination by drawing lines on the ground." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied, "There was a Prophet who drew lines, the line which agrees with the line drawn by that Prophet would be correct.".
وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
"من اقتبس علمًا من النجوم، اقتبس شعبة من السحر زاد ما زاد". ((رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح))
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who acquires a branch of the knowledge of astrology, learns a branch of magic (of which he acquires more as long as) he continues to do so.".
وعن قبيصة بن المخارق رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:
"العِيافة، والطِّيَرة، والطرق، من الجبت". ((رواه أبو داود بإسناد حسن)).
وقال: «الطَّرْقُ» هُوَ الزَّجْرُ: أيْ زَجْرُ الطَّيْرِ وَهُوَ أنْ يَتَيَمَّنَ أو يَتَشَاءمَ بِطَيَرَانِهِ، فإنْ طَارَ إلَى جِهَةِ اليَمِين، تَيَمَّنَ، وإنْ طَارَ إلَى جِهَةِ اليَسَارِ، تَشَاءمَ. قال أبو داود: «والعِيَافَةُ»: الخَطُّ.
قالَ الجَوْهَريُّ في الصِّحَاحِ: الجِبْتُ كَلِمَةٌ تَقَعُ عَلَى الصَّنَمِ وَالكاهِنِ والسَّاحِرِ وَنَحْوِ ذلِكَ.
Narrated Qabisah bin Al-Mukhariq (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "The practice of 'Iyafah, the interpretation of omens from the flight of birds, the practice of divination by drawing lines on the ground and taking evil omens are all practices of Al-Jibt (the idol, the diviner, or sorcerer).".
