حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَوُفٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيَّانُ، قَالَ غَيْر مُسَدَّدٍ، حَيَانُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا قَطَنُ بْنُ قَبِيصَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: الْعِيَافَةُ وَالطِّيَرَةُ وَالطَّرْقُ مِنَ الْجِبْتِ ، الطَّرْقُ: الزَّجْرُ، وَالْعِيَافَةُ: الْخَطُّ.

Al-Khatt, and Al-'Iyafah (Being Dissuaded By Birds)
I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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.
