حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَی قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُمُورًا کُنَّا نَصْنَعُهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ کُنَّا نَأْتِي الْکُهَّانَ قَالَ فَلَا تَأْتُوا الْکُهَّانَ قَالَ قُلْتُ کُنَّا نَتَطَيَّرُ قَالَ ذَاکَ شَيْئٌ يَجِدُهُ أَحَدُکُمْ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّکُمْ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5813
Mu'awiya b. al-Hakam as-Sulami reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, there were things we used to do in the pre-Islamic days. We used to visit Kahins, whereupon he said: Don't visit Kahins. I said: We used to take omens. He said: That is a sort of personal whim of yours, so let it not prevent you (from doing a thing).
