Divination and Omens (Kitab Al-Kahanah Wa Al-Tatayyur)

Sahih (authentic)« Sahih Maqtu » by Al-Albani

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ الصَّفَرُ وَجَعٌ يَأْخُذُ فِي الْبَطْنِ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَمَا الْهَامَةُ قَالَ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ الْهَامَةُ الَّتِي تَصْرُخُ هَامَةُ النَّاسِ وَلَيْسَتْ بِهَامَةِ الإِنْسَانِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ دَابَّةٌ ‏.‏

Narrated 'Ata:People said: safar is a pain within the belly. I asked: What is hamah ? He said: People said (believed) that hamah which is an owl or a nightbird and which shrieks is the spirit of men. It is not the spirit of men. It is an animal

Rapporté par ‘Ata : Les gens disaient : safar est une douleur dans le ventre. J’ai demandé : Qu’est-ce que hamah ? Il a répondu : Les gens disaient (croyaient) que hamah, qui est un hibou ou un oiseau nocturne qui hulule, est l’esprit des hommes. Ce n’est pas l’esprit des hommes, c’est un animal
