Sunan Abi Dawud Divination and Omens (Kitab Al-Kahanah Wa Al-Tatayyur) Ahmad bin Hanbal أحمد بن حنبل Habib bin Abi Thabit حبيب بن أبي ثابت قيس Sufyan bin Sa‘id Ath-Thawri سفيان الثوري Urwa bin 'Amir Waki' bin al-Jarrah وكيع بن الجراح Sahih 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. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-3918/
