ح وَحَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَاهُ مُبَشِّرٌ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْحَلَبِيَّ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي هِلَالُ بْنُ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيُّ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا كُنَّا حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ، فَجَاءَ اللهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ، وَإِنَّ رِجَالًا مِنَّا يَتَطَيَّرُونَ قَالَ: ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ يَجِدُونَهُ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ، فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّهُمْ. قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، رِجَالٌ يَأْتُونَ الْكَهَنَةَ قَالَ: " فَلَا تَأْتُوهُمْ " قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، رِجَالٌ مِنَّا يَخُطُّونَ. قَالَ: " كَانَ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ يَخُطُّ، فَمَنْ وَافَقَ خَطَّهُ فَذَاكَ " قَالَ: وَبَيْنَا أَنَا أُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، إِذْ عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَرْحَمُكُ اللهُ، فَحَدَّقَنِي الْقَوْمُ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ، فَقُلْتُ: وَاثُكْلَ أُمِّيَاهُ، مَا لَكُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ ؟ !. قَالَ: فَضَرَبَ الْقَوْمُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ عَلَى أَفْخَاذِهِمْ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُمْ [ يُصَمِّتُونَنِي ] لَكِنِّي سَكَتُّ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَعَانِي، فَبِأَبِي هُوَ وَأُمِّي، مَا رَأَيْتُ مُعَلِّمًا قَطُّ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ أَحْسَنَ تَعْلِيمًا مِنْهُ، وَاللهِ مَا ضَرَبَنِي، وَلَا كَهَرَنِي، وَلَا شَتَمَنِي، وَلَكِنْ قَالَ: " إِنَّ صَلَاتَنَا هَذِهِ لَا يَصْلُحُ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ كَلَامِ النَّاسِ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ التَّكْبِيرُ، وَالتَّسْبِيحُ، وَتِلَاوَةُ الْقُرْآنِ

✧ I said, "O Messenger of Allah, we were recently from ignorance, then Allah brought Islam. Some men among us practice divination by birds." He said, "That is something they find in their chests, so let it not hinder them." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, men go to soothsayers." He said, "Do not go to them." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, men among us draw lines." He said, "There was a prophet among the prophets who drew lines, so whoever matches his line, then that is it." He said, "While I was praying with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man from the people sneezed, so I said to him, 'May Allah have mercy on you.' The people stared at me with their eyes, so I said, 'Woe to my mother! What is wrong with you, looking at me?' He said, "The people struck their hands on their thighs. When I saw them silencing me, I kept quiet. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished, he called me. By my father and mother, I have never seen a teacher before him or after him better in teaching than him. By Allah, he did not strike me, nor scold me, nor insult me, but he said, 'Indeed this prayer of ours is not suitable for any of the speech of people. It is only takbir, tasbih, and recitation of the Qur'an.'"

Yasār, from Muʿāwiyah b. al-Ḥakam, who said: "I said: O Messenger of Allah, we were recently out of the Jāhiliyyah, then Allah brought Islam, and some men among us practice omen-taking (taṭayyur)."
