[5815] (...) A Hadîth like that of Az-Zuhrî from Abû Salamah from Mu'âwiyah was narrated from Mu'âwiyah bin Al-Ḥakam As-Sulamî from the Prophet ﷺ. In the Hadîth of Yahya bin Abî Kathîr it adds: "He said: 'I said: "Among us there are some men who perform Khatt."[1] He said: "One of the Prophets used to [1] Khatt: The drawing of lines or the like in sand for the purpose of making decisions. It is also called Tarq or ‘Ilm Ar-Raml. It is referred to as "geomancy" in the English language. Regarding the meaning of "If a person's Khatt is the same as his..." An-Nawawî said: "If anyone's Khatt is found to be in accord with that form of Khatt; and the form of it is not known, so it is dependant upon what is not possible. It is as if it is a clear prohibition." draw lines; if a person's Khatt is in accord with his, that is fine."
