[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, we were in a state of ignorance and then Allah brought Islam to us. However, some of us have bad omens." He said, "That is something that they find in their hearts, so do not prevent them." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, some of us go to the fortune-tellers." He said, "No, do not go to them." I said, "And some of us write down things." He said, "The Prophet of the prophets used to write, so whoever coincides with his writing, that is acceptable."  

الطبراني:١٧٠٥٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَابْلُتِّيُّ ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنِي هِلَالُ بْنُ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيُّ قَالَ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِالْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَجَاءَ اللهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ وَإِنَّ رِجَالًا مِنَّا يَتَطَيَّرُونَ فَقَالَ «ذَاكَ شَيْءٌ يَجِدُونَهُ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّهُمْ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَرِجَالٌ مِنَّا يَأْتُونَ الْكُهَّاَنَ قَالَ «لَا فَلَا تَأْتُوهُمْ» قَالَ وَرِجَالٌ مِنَّا يَخُطُّونَ قَالَ «قَدْ كَانَ نَبِيُّ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ يَخُطُّ فَمَنْ وَافَقَ خَطَّهُ فَذَاكَ»

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ نَسْخَ الْكَلَامِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِنَّمَا نُسِخَ مِنْهُ مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ مِنْ مُخَاطَبَةِ الْآدَمِيِّينَ دُونَ مُخَاطَبَةِ الْعَبْدِ رَبَّهُ فِيهَا

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, we were in a state of ignorance and then Allah brought Islam to us. And indeed, some of us have dreams." He said, "That is something they find in their hearts and it does not harm them."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , narrated three hadiths: He said, "O Messenger of Allah, we used to have conversations during the period of ignorance, but Allah has brought Islam, and some of us still have superstitions." He said, "They can't be stopped from that which they find in their hearts." I said, "And some of us go to fortunetellers." He said, "They should not go to them." I said, "And some of us practice divination." He said, "There was a prophet among the prophets who practiced divination, and whoever approves of their method, then that is acceptable."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَةَ أَحَادِيثَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَإِنَّ اللهَ جَاءَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ وَإِنَّ رِجَالًا مِنَّا يَتَطَيَّرُونَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ يَجِدُونَهُ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّهُمْ قُلْتُ وَرِجَالٌ مِنَّا يَأْتُونَ الْكَهَنَةَ قَالَ فَلَا يَأْتُوهُمْ قُلْتُ وَرِجَالٌ مِنَّا يَخُطُّونَ قَالَ قَدْ كَانَ نَبِيُّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ يَخُطُّ فَمَنْ وَافَقَ خَطَّهُ فَذَاكَ
