حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ: نَا مُعَلَّلٌ قَالَ: نَا عَتَّابُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُرْوَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ:
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْكُهَّانِ ؟ فَقَالَ: " لَيْسُوا بِشَيْءٍ. قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يُحَدِّثُونَ بِالشَّيْءِ فَيَكُونُ حَقًّا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " تِلْكَ الْكَلِمَةُ مِنَ الْحَقِّ يَخْطَفُهَا الْجِنِّيُّ، فَيَقُرُّهَا فِي أُذُنِ وَلِيِّهِ قَرَّ الدَّجَاجَةِ، فَيَخْلِطُونَ فِيهَا مِائَةَ كَذْبَةٍ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ was asked about the soothsayers, and he said: "They are nothing." They said: "O Messenger of God, but they sometimes tell of something and it turns out to be true." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "That is a word of truth which a jinni snatches and pours into the ear of his protégé like the cackling of a hen, and they mix into it a hundred lies."
