when the state of fear disappears, they ask each other: “What has your Lord<br />
ordered? They say that {He has said that which is true and just, and He is the Most<br />
High, the Most Great.}” [Surah Saba’ (34):23]. Then the stealthy listeners (devils) hear<br />
this order, and these stealthy listeners are like this, one over the other.❞ (Sufyaan, a<br />
sub-narrator demonstrated by spreading the fingers of his right hand and placed them<br />
one over the other horizontally.) ❝A stealthy listener hears a word which he will<br />
convey to that which is below him and the second will convey it to that which is<br />
below him until the last of them will convey it to the wizard or foreteller. Sometimes<br />
a flame (fire) may strike the devil before he can convey it, and sometimes he may<br />
convey it before the flame (fire) strikes him, whereupon the wizard adds to that word<br />
a hundred lies. The people will then say: ‘Didn’t he (i.e. magician) tell such-and-such a<br />
thing on such-and-such date?’ So that magician is said to have told the truth because<br />
of the Statement which has been heard from the heavens.❞ 153<br />
Narrated `Aaishah ُاهلل ُعنها :رضي Some people asked <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ about the<br />
soothsayers. <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ said to them: ❝They are nothing (i.e. they are<br />
liars).❞ The people said: “O <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger !ﷺ Sometimes they tell something<br />
which comes out to be true.” <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ said: ❝That word which comes<br />
to be true is what a Jinn snatches away by stealing and then pours it in the ear of his<br />
foreteller with a sound similar to the cackle of a hen, and then they (foretellers) add<br />
to it one-hundred lies.❞ 154<br />
