Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَشْيَاءُ كُنَّا نَصْنَعُهَا فِي الْجَاهِل
ِيَّةِ كُنَّا نَأْتِي الْكُهَّانَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَأْتُوا الْكُهَّانَ قَالَ وَكُنَّا نَتَطَيَّرُ قَالَ ذَاكَ شَيْءٌ يَجِدُهُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمْ

English Translation
It was narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn al-Hakam al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) that Mu'awiyah ibn al-Hakam al-Sulami said: 'I said: "O Messenger of Allah, some things we used to do in the pre-Islamic period — we used to consult soothsayers." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not go to soothsayers." I said: "And we used to take omens." He said: "That is something you find in yourselves, so do not let it prevent you from acting."'
