Hadith 537
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ، أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَتَقَارَبَا فِي لَفْظِ الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ الصَّوَّافِ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا أَنَا أُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِذْ عَطَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ ، فَرَمَانِي الْقَوْمُ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ ، فَقُلْتُ : وَا ثُكْلَ أُمِّيَاهْ ، مَا شَأْنُكُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ ؟ فَجَعَلُوا يَضْرِبُونَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ عَلَى أَفْخَاذِهِمْ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُمْ يُصَمِّتُونَنِي ، لَكِنِّي سَكَتُّ ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَبِأَبِي هُوَ وَأُمِّي ، مَا رَأَيْتُ مُعَلِّمًا قَبْلَهُ ، وَلَا بَعْدَهُ أَحْسَنَ تَعْلِيمًا مِنْهُ ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا كَهَرَنِي وَلَا ضَرَبَنِي وَلَا شَتَمَنِي ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ ، لَا يَصْلُحُ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ كَلَامِ النَّاسِ ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ التَّسْبِيحُ وَالتَّكْبِيرُ وَقِرَاءَةُ الْقُرْآنِ " ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ ، وَقَدْ جَاءَ اللَّهُ بِالإِسْلَامِ ، وَإِنَّ مِنَّا رِجَالًا يَأْتُونَ الْكُهَّانَ ، قَالَ : فَلَا تَأْتِهِمْ ، قَالَ : وَمِنَّا رِجَالٌ يَتَطَيَّرُونَ ، قَالَ : ذَاكَ شَيْءٌ يَجِدُونَهُ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ ، فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّهُمْ ، قَالَ ابْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ : فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمْ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَمِنَّا رِجَالٌ يَخُطُّونَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ يَخُطُّ ، فَمَنْ وَافَقَ خَطَّهُ ، فَذَاكَ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَتْ لِي جَارِيَةٌ ، تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لِي قِبَلَ أُحُدٍ وَالْجَوَّانِيَّةِ ، فَاطَّلَعْتُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، فَإِذَا الذِّيبُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ بِشَاةٍ مِنْ غَنَمِهَا ، وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ ، آسَفُ كَمَا يَأْسَفُونَ ، لَكِنِّي صَكَكْتُهَا صَكَّةً ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَعَظَّمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَفَلَا أُعْتِقُهَا ؟ قَالَ : ائْتِنِي بِهَا ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : أَيْنَ اللَّهُ ؟ قَالَتْ : فِي السَّمَاءِ ، قَالَ : مَنْ أَنَا ؟ قَالَتْ : أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : أَعْتِقْهَا ، فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ .
Mu'awiyah bin al-Hakam said: While I was praying with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , a man in the company sneezed. I said: Allah have mercy on you! The people stared at me with disapproving looks, so I said: Woe be upon me, why is it that you stare at me? They began to strike their hands on their thighs, and when I saw them urging me to observe silence (I became angry) but I said nothing. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had said the prayer (and I declare that neither before him nor after him have I seen a leader who gave better instruction than he for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom). I swear that he did not scold, beat or revile me but said: Talking to persons is not fitting during the prayer, for it consists of glorifying Allah, declaring his Greatness. and recitation of the Qur'an or words to that effect. I said: Messenger of Allah. I was till recently a pagan, but Allah has brought Islam to us; among us there are men who have recourse to Kahins. He said, Do not have recourse to them. I said. There are men who take omens. That is something which they find in their breasts, but let it not turn their way (from freedom of action). I said: Among us there are men who draw lines. He said: There was a prophet who drew lines, so if they do it as they did, that is allowable. I had a maid-servant who tended goats by the side of Uhud and Jawwaniya. One day I happened to pass that way and found that a wolf had carried a goat from her flock. I am after all a man from the posterity of Adam. I felt sorry as they (human beings) feel sorry. So I slapped her. I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and felt (this act of mine) as something grievous I said: Messenger of Allah, should I not grant her freedom? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Bring her to me. So I brought her to him. He said to her: Where is Allah? She said: He is in the heaven. He said: Who am I? She said: Thou art the Messenger of Allah. He said: Grant her freedom, she is a believing woman.
Hadith 537
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَي ، قالا : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، قال : قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أُمُورًا كُنَّا نَصْنَعُهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، كُنَّا نَأْتِي الْكُهَّانَ ، قَالَ : " فَلَا تَأْتُوا الْكُهَّانَ " ، قَال ، قُلْتُ : كُنَّا نَتَطَيَّرُ ، قَالَ : " ذَاكَ شَيْءٌ يَجِدُهُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي نَفْسِهِ ، فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمْ " .
Mu'awiyah bin al-Hakam as-Sulami reported: 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).

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Mu'awiyah bin Hakam as-Sulami through another chain of transmitters. The hadith transmitted on the authority of Yahya bin Abu Kathir (there is an addition of these words): I said: Among us there are men who draw lines and thus make divination. What about this? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: There was a Prophet (ﷺ) who drew lines, so whose lines agree with his line for him it is allowable.
