7561. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها: Some people asked the Prophet ﷺ regarding the foreteller. He said, "They are nothing." They said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Some of their talks come true." The Prophet ﷺ said, "That word which happens to be true is what a jinn (devil) snatches away by stealth (from the heaven) and pours it in the ears of his friend (the foreteller) with a sound like the cackling of a hen. The foreteller then mixes with that word, one hundred lies."

7561 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: سَأَلَ أُنَاسٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الكُهَّانِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا بِشَيْءٍ»، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يُحَدِّثُونَ بِالشَّيْءِ يَكُونُ حَقًّا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تِلْكَ الكَلِمَةُ مِنَ الحَقِّ يَخْطَفُهَا الجِنِّيُّ، فَيُقَرْقِرُهَا فِي أُذُنِ وَلِيِّهِ كَقَرْقَرَةِ الدَّجَاجَةِ، فَيَخْلِطُونَ فِيهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مِائَةِ كَذْبَةٍ»
