The Arab Soothsayers:
As for the Arab soothsayers, the Shayaaṭeen (devils) from the Jinn used to
communicate to them the news which they overheard (by stealthily listening to the
Angels) – while they were still not prevented from doing so by having shooting stars
cast at them. The male and female soothsayers continued mentioning such matters
‏;ﷺ sent the Prophet عاىل without the Arabs giving any credence to them, until Allaah
and when they saw that all what they heard was turning into reality, they recognized
these signs. 88

mention him among the teachers of al-Wazzaan (another narrator in the chain). Therefore the Ḥadeeth is
“Munkar” (with this completion). And even if we suppose that he (Muḥammad Ibn Ṣaaleh) is reliable, yet the
Ḥadeeth is “Shaadh” (when an acceptable narrator reports in contradiction to someone who is more reliable than
him), because he has opposed a group of narrators who were more reliable than him, and they only narrated this
part of the Ḥadeeth: ❝(I was a Prophet) while Aadam was between (being) soul and body.❞. See “al-
Ḍha`eefah” (5709)]
D) On the authority of `Umar Ibn al-Khaṭṭaab رضيُاهللُعنه that the Prophet ﷺ (is supposed to have) said: ❝When
Aadam committed the sin he raised his head to the Throne and said: ‘I ask you through the right of Muḥammad
when I have not ‏(ﷺ)‏ for your forgiveness.’ Allaah asked Aadam: {How do you know about Muḥammad ‏(ﷺ)‏
created him?} He (Aadam) said: ‘O Allaah! After you created me and breathed into me the soul (which) You
(created), I raised my head and saw written on (one of) the pillars of the Throne: “There is no one worthy of
worship except Allaah and Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allaah.” I then came to know that you would not
put anyone’s name next to Yours’ except the one who is most dear to you in your creation. Allaah ‏(تعالى)‏ said:
{You have said the truth O Aadam! Indeed he is most dear to me among the creation. Invoke me through his
right. Indeed I have forgiven you. And if there was no Muḥammad, I would not have created you}.❞ [It was
reported by al-Ḥaakim in “al-Mustadrak”, al-Baihaqee in “Dalaa’il al-Nubuwwah”, and graded as “Mawḍhoo`”
(Fabricated) by al-Dhahabee, as well as by Shaikh al-Albaanee in “al-Ḍha`eefah” (25). See also “al-Ḍha`eefah” (280
and 282)]]
88 [TN: Narrated `Aaishah ‏:رضيُاهللُعنها I heard the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ saying: ❝The Angels descend in the
clouds and talk about the things that are going to happen on the earth. The devils listen stealthily to such a
matter, then come down to inspire the soothsayers with it, and the soothsayers would add to it one-hundred
lies of their own.❞ [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (3210, 3288)]
Narrated `Aaishah ‏ُاهلل ‏ُعنها ‏:رضي Some people asked Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ about the soothsayers. Allaah’s
Messenger ﷺ said to them: ❝They are nothing (i.e. they are liars).❞ The people said: “O Allaah’s Messenger
said: ❝That word ﷺ Sometimes they tell something which comes out to be true.” Allaah’s Messenger ‏!ﷺ
which comes to be true is what a Jinn snatches away by stealing and then pours it in the ear of his foreteller
with a sound similar to the cackle of a hen, and then they (foretellers) add to it one-hundred lies.❞ [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-
Bukhaaree (5762, 6213, 7561) and Ṣaḥeeḥ Muslim (2228-122, 123)]
Narrated Abu Hurairah ‏:رضيُاهللُعنه Allaah’s Prophet ﷺ said: ❝When Allaah decrees some order in the heaven,
the angels flutter their wings indicating complete surrender to His saying which sounds like chains being
dragged on the rock. And when the state of fear disappears, they ask each other: “What has your Lord
