This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Mu'awiya b. Hakam as-Sulami through another chain of transmitters. The hadith transmitted on the authority of Yahya b. Abu Kathir (there is an addition of these words): I said: Among us there are men who draw lines and thus make divination. What about this? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: There was a Prophet who drew lines, so whose lines agree with his line for him it is allowable.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ الصَّوَّافِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَمِنَّا رِجَالٌ يَخُطُّونَ قَالَ: «كَانَ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ يَخُطُّ، فَمَنْ وَافَقَ خَطَّهُ فَذَاكَ»
  حجاج صواف اور اوزاعی ، دونوں نے یحییٰ بن ابی کثیر سے ، انھوں نے ہلال بن ابی میمونہ سے ، انھوں نے عطا ء بن یسار سے ، انھوں نے معاویہ بن حکم سلمہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے ، انھوں نے نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے زہری کی ابو سلمہ سے اور ان کی معاویہ سے روایت کردہ حدیث کے مانند روایت کی ، اور یحییٰ بن ابی کثیر کی حدیث میں یہ الفا ظ زائد بیان کیے ، کہا : میں نے عرض کی : ہم میں ایسے لو گ ہیں جو ( مستقبل کا حال بتا نے کے لیے ) لکیریں کھینچتے ہیں ۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فر ما یا : " انبیاء علیہ السلام میں سے ایک نبی تھے جو لکیریں کھینچتے تھے ، جو ان کی لکیروں سے موافقت کرگیا تو وہ ٹھیک ہے ۔ "

sahih-muslim-5816

A'isha reported: I said: Allah's Messenger, the kahins used to tell us about things (unseen) and we found them to be true. Thereupon he said: That is a word pertaining to truth which a jinn snatches and throws into the ear of his friend, and makes an addition of one hundred lies to it.

Urwa reported from 'A'isha that she said that people asked Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) about the kahins. Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said to them: It is nothing (i. e. it is a mere superstition). They said: Allah's Messenger, they at times narrate to us things which we find true. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: That is a word pertaining to truth which a jinn snatches away and then cackles into the ear of his friend as the hen does. And then they mix in it more than one hundred lies.

sahih-muslim-5819

Abdullah. Ibn 'Abbas reported: A person from the Ansar who was amongst the Companions of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) reported to me: As we were sitting during the night with Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ), a meteor shot gave a dazzling light. Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: What did you say in the pre-Islamic days when there was such a shot (of meteor)? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best (the actual position), but we, however, used to say that that very night a great man had been born and a great man had died, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: (These meteors) are shot neither at the death of anyone nor on the birth of anyone. Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, issues Command when He decides to do a thing. Then (the Angels) supporting the Throne sing His glory, then sing the dwellers of heaven who are near to them until this glory of God reaches them who are in the heaven of this world. Then those who are near the supporters of the Throne ask these supporters of the Throne: What your Lord has said? And they accordingly inform them what He says. Then the dwellers of heaven seek information from them until this information reaches the heaven of the world. In this process of transmission (the jinn snatches) what he manages to overhear and he carries it to his friends. And when the Angels see the jinn they attack them with meteors. If they narrate only which they manage to snatch that is correct but they alloy it with lies and make additions to it.
