سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَاسٌ عَنِ الْكُهَّانِ. فَقَالَ " لَيْسَ بِشَىْءٍ ". فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ يُحَدِّثُونَا أَحْيَانًا بِشَىْءٍ فَيَكُونُ حَقًّا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تِلْكَ الْكَلِمَةُ مِنَ الْحَقِّ، يَخْطَفُهَا مِنَ الْجِنِّيِّ، فَيَقُرُّهَا فِي أُذُنِ وَلِيِّهِ، فَيَخْلِطُونَ مَعَهَا مِائَةَ كَذْبَةٍ ". قَالَ عَلِيٌّ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ مُرْسَلٌ، الْكَلِمَةُ مِنَ الْحَقِّ. ثُمَّ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ أَسْنَدَهُ بَعْدَهُ.
Some people asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the fore-tellers He said. ' They are nothing" They said, 'OAllah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Sometimes they tell us of a thing which turns out to be true." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "AJinn snatches that true word and pours it Into the ear of his friend (the fore-teller) (as one putssomething into a bottle) The foreteller then mixes with that word one hundred lies."
