حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ح و حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَی بْنُ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا سَأَلَ أُنَاسٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْکُهَّانِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا بِشَيْئٍ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُحَدِّثُونَ بِالشَّيْئِ يَکُونُ حَقًّا قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تِلْکَ الْکَلِمَةُ مِنْ الْحَقِّ يَخْطَفُهَا الْجِنِّيُّ فَيُقَرْقِرُهَا فِي أُذُنِ وَلِيِّهِ کَقَرْقَرَةِ الدَّجَاجَةِ فَيَخْلِطُونَ فِيهِ أَکْثَرَ مِنْ مِائَةِ کَذْبَةٍ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 7561
Narrated `Aisha: Some people asked the Prophet regarding the soothsayers. He said, "They are nothing." They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Some of their talks come true." The Prophet said, "That word which happens to be true is what a Jinn snatches away by stealth (from the Heaven) and pours it in the ears of his friend (the foreteller) with a sound like the cackling of a hen. The soothsayers then mix with that word, one hundred lies."
