حَدِيثُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ
Hadith of Mu'awiyah ibn al-Hakam (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 15663
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ , عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ , أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَرَأَيْتَ أَشْيَاءَ كُنَّا نَفْعَلُهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، كُنَّا نَتَطَيَّرُ ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ تَجِدُهُ فِي نَفْسِكَ , فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكم " قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كُنَّا نَأْتِي الْكُهَّانَ , قَالَ : " فَلَا تَأْتِ الْكُهَّانَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Hakam that he asked the Prophet (peace be upon him): Tell me, what is the ruling about the things we used to do in the days of ignorance, for example, we used to take omens from birds? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: This is just a delusion of your mind; now it should not prevent you from doing anything. He asked: O Messenger of Allah! We also used to go to soothsayers. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Now do not go to them.
