Chapter 30 · Divination and Omens (Kitab Al-Kahanah Wa Al-Tatayyur)حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ: يَقُولُ: وَجَعٌ يَأْخُذُ فِي الْبَطْنِ، النَّاسُ الصَّفَرُ، قُلْتُ: فَمَا الْهَامَةُ ؟، قَالَ: يَقُولُ النَّاسُ: الْهَامَةُ الَّتِي تَصْرُخُ هَامَةُ النَّاسِ وَلَيْسَتْ بِهَامَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ دَابَّةٌ .

People said: safar is a pain within the belly. I asked: What is hamah ? He said: People said (believed) that hamah which is an owl or a nightbird and which shrieks is the spirit of men. It is not the spirit of men. It is an animal.
