Hadith #209
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيَّ وَكَانَ صَحَابِيًّا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أُمُورًا كُنَّا نَفْعَلُهَا فِي الْ
جَاهِلِيَّةِ كُنَّا نَتَطَيَّرُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاكَ شَيْءٌ يَجِدُهُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمْ فَقُلْتُ وَكُنَّا نَأْتِي الْكُهَّانَ قَالَ وَلَا تَأْتُوا الْكُهَّانَ

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."'
