Qatan b. Qabisa told on his father’s authority that the Prophet said:
"Augury from the flight of birds, the practice of pessomancy,* and taking evil omens pertain to divination."**
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
* Tarq. It is used of the practice of divinantion in which women threw stones. It is also used of geomancy by drawing lines.
** Min al-jibt. Jibt means devil and also divination. An alternative translation would be that these practices come from the devil.
