Chapter: The Prohibition Of Soothsaying And Going To Soothsayers
Urwa reported from 'A'isha that she said that people asked Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about the kahins. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to them: It is nothing (i. e. it is a mere superstition). They said: Allah's Messenger, they at times narrate to us things which we find true. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: That is a word pertaining to truth which a jinn snatches away and then cackles into the ear of his friend as the hen does. And then they mix in it more than one hundred lies.
