Original Arabic
وعن قبيصة بن المخارق رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:
العِيافة، والطِّيَرة، والطرق، من الجبت
. ((رواه أبو داود بإسناد حسن)). وقال: «الطَّرْقُ» هُوَ الزَّجْرُ: أيْ زَجْرُ الطَّيْرِ وَهُوَ أنْ يَتَيَمَّنَ أو يَتَشَاءمَ بِطَيَرَانِهِ، فإنْ طَارَ إلَى جِهَةِ اليَمِين، تَيَمَّنَ، وإنْ طَارَ إلَى جِهَةِ اليَسَارِ، تَشَاءمَ. قال أبو داود: «والعِيَافَةُ»: الخَطُّ. قالَ الجَوْهَريُّ في الصِّحَاحِ: الجِبْتُ كَلِمَةٌ تَقَعُ عَلَى الصَّنَمِ وَالكاهِنِ والسَّاحِرِ وَنَحْوِ ذلِكَ.

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "The practice of 'Iyafah, the interpretation of omens from the flight of birds, the practice of divination by drawing lines on the ground and taking evil omens are all practices of Al-Jibt (the idol, the diviner, or sorcerer)." [Abu Dawud].
