عن عائشة رضي الله عنها

قالت: سأل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أناس عن الكهان، فقال: «ليسوا بشيء«فقالوا: يا رسول الله إنهم يحدثونا أحيانًا بشيء، فيكون حقًا؟ فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «تلك الكلمة من الحق يخطفها الجني. فيقرها في أذن وليه، فيخلطون معها مائة كذبة» وفي رواية للبخاري عن عائشة رضي الله عنها أنها سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «إن الملائكة تنزل في العَنان وهو السحاب-.

فتذكر الأمر قضي في السماء، فيسترق الشيطان السمع، فيسمعه، فيوحيه إلى الكهان، فيكذبون معها مائة كذبة من عند أنفسهم«قَولُهُ: «فَيَقُرُّهَا» هو بفتح الياء وضم القاف والراء، أي: يُلْقِيها، «والعَنانِ» بفتح العين»

Some people asked the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) about soothsayers. He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “They are of no account.” Upon this they said to him, “O Messenger of Allah! But they sometimes make true predictions.” Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “That is a word pertaining to truth which a jinn snatches (from the angels) and whispers into the ears of his friend (the soothsayers) who will then mix more than a hundred lies with it.”.

The narration in Al-Bukhari is: “The angels descend in the clouds and mention matters which has been decreed in heaven; Satan steals a hearing (listens to it stealthily) and communicates it to the soothsayers who tell along with it a hundred lies.”
