Hadith text
Narrated `Aisha:Some people asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the fore-tellers. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them, "They are nothing (i.e., liars)." The people said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! Sometimes they tell something which comes out to be true." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "That word which comes to be true is what a jinx snatches away by stealing and then pours it in the ear of his fore-teller with a sound similar to the cackle of a hen, and then they add to it one-hundred lies
Aisha bataati hain: Kuch logon ne Allah ke Rasool (SAW) se jyotishiyon (foretellers) ke baare mein pucha. Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne unse kaha, 'Wo kuch nahi hain (yaani jhoote hain).' Logon ne kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Kabhi-kabhi wo kuch aisi baat batate hain jo sach nikalti hai.' Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne kaha, 'Jo baat sach nikalti hai wo wahi hai jo ek Jinn chura kar apne jyotishi ke kaan mein daalta hai, murgi ki aawaaz jaisi ek aawaaz ke saath, phir wo (jyotishi) usmein sau jhoot mila deta hai.'
