[Machine] He said, "I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I had a slave girl who used to take care of my sheep. I went to her and one sheep from the flock was missing. I asked her about it and she said, 'The wolf ate it.' I felt sorry for her, so I slapped her face and I had a necklace on my neck. I asked her, 'Should I free you?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, 'Where is Allah?' She said, 'In the sky.' He asked, 'Who am I?' She said, 'You are the Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Free her.' Omar bin Al-Hakam said, 'O Messenger of Allah, in the era of ignorance, we used to do certain things. We used to go to fortune-tellers.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Do not go to fortune-tellers.' Omar said, 'We used to practice divination.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'That is something which a person may find in himself, but it does not harm you.' Ash-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said, 'The name of the man was Mu'awiyah bin Al-Hakam.' This was narrated by Az-Zuhri and Yahya bin Abi Kathir. The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said, 'That is how it is.'"
