Hadith الحديث

English Translation of Hadith

Narrated Hazrat Safiyyah, daughter of Abu `Ubaid, on the authority of some of the wives of The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "He who goes to one who claims to tell about matters of the Unseen and believes in him, his Salat (prayers) will not be accepted for forty days.'' [Muslim].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Araaf Ayat 116. they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them, and they displayed a great magic. We learn from this Hadith that visiting soothsayers, magicians and astrologers for the purpose of knowing from them what lies hidden in future is such a great offence that he who does it, loses all merits of his forty days Salat. Some people try to detect the culprits involved in a theft case through the so-called fortune tellers or seek their advice in matters relating to business, marriage etc. All such things are unlawful because Allah Alone knows the invisible world.
