حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی حَدَّثَنَا عَوُفٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَيَّانُ قَالَ غَيْر مُسَدَّدٍ حَيَانُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ حَدَّثَنَا قَطَنُ بْنُ قَبِيصَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الْعِيَافَةُ وَالطِّيَرَةُ وَالطَّرْقُ مِنْ الْجِبْتِ الطَّرْقُ الزَّجْرُ وَالْعِيَافَةُ الْخَطُّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3907
Narrated Qabisah: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Augury from the flight of birds, taking evil omens and the practice of pressomancy pertain to divination. Tarq: It is used in the sense of divination in which women threw stones. 'Iyafah: It means geomancy by drawing lines.
