Sahih al-Bukhari 3210 (Book 59, Hadith 21) #3068
Decrees of Heaven and Lies of Soothsayers

SUMMARY: The hadith is about how the angels descend from Heaven and share matters decreed by Allah, which are then heard by devils who pass it on to soothsayers who add lies to it.

Narrated 'Aisha: I heard Allah's Messenger saying, "The angels descend, the clouds and mention this or that matter decreed in the Heaven. The devils listen stealthily to such a matter, come down to inspire the soothsayers with it, and the latter would add to it one-hundred lies of their own".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ تَنْزِلُ فِي الْعَنَانِ ـ وَهْوَ السَّحَابُ ـ فَتَذْكُرُ الأَمْرَ قُضِيَ فِي السَّمَاءِ، فَتَسْتَرِقُ الشَّيَاطِينُ السَّمْعَ، فَتَسْمَعُهُ فَتُوحِيهِ إِلَى الْكُهَّانِ، فَيَكْذِبُونَ مَعَهَا مِائَةَ كَذْبَةٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the matters that are decreed in heaven by Allah and how they are heard by the angels who come down from heaven with them. The devils also listen to these matters but instead of following them they pass them on to soothsayers who add lies to them. This hadith teaches us that we should not believe in what soothsayers say as their words may contain lies and falsehoods. We should only believe in what is revealed through Allah's messengers as this is the truth that will lead us towards righteousness.
