Chapter 43 · The Book of Greetingsتَحْرِيمِ الْكِهَانَةِ وَإِتْيَانِ الْكُهَّانِ
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُمُورًا كُنَّا نَصْنَعُهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، كُنَّا نَأْتِي الْكُهَّانَ، قَالَ: «فَلَا تَأْتُوا الْكُهَّانَ» قَالَ قُلْتُ: كُنَّا نَتَطَيَّرُ قَالَ: «ذَاكَ شَيْءٌ يَجِدُهُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي نَفْسِهِ، فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمْ».

The Prohibition Of Soothsaying And Going To Soothsayers
I said: Messenger of Allah, there were things we used to do in the pre-Islamic days. We used to visit Kahins, whereupon he said: Don't visit Kahins. I said: We used to take omens. He said: That is a sort of personal whim of yours, so let it not prevent you (from doing a thing).
