كتاب الطب والرقى

وعن حفصة قالت: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «من أتى عرافا فسأله عن شيء لم تقبل صلاة أربعين ليلة». رواه مسلم

Hafsa reported God’s messenger as saying:

“If anyone resorts to a diviner (arraf) and asks him about anything prayer will not be accepted from him for forty days.”*

Muslim transmitted it.

* Literally, Nights.
