Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever practices soothsaying, or soothsaying is practiced for him, or who returns from a journey taking an ill omen, cannot attain the highest ranks."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and affirms what he says, he has disbelieved in the Shari'ah revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)."

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a man with a brass ring on his arm and asked: "What is this?" He said: "It is because of weakness." He said: "If you die while wearing this ring, you will be entrusted to it." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever takes an evil omen or has an evil omen taken for him, or practices soothsaying or has soothsaying done for him, or practices magic or has magic done for him, he is not from among us."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever practices magic himself or magic is practiced for him, or whoever practices soothsaying or soothsaying is practiced for him, or whoever takes an evil omen or an evil omen is taken for him, he is not from among us."
