Narrated to me Abu al-Tahir and Harmalah ibn Yahya, both saying: Ibn Wahb informed us, Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf, from Mu'awiyah ibn al-Hakam al-Sulami, who said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, there were matters we used to practice in the pre-Islamic period of ignorance—we used to go to soothsayers." He said, "Then do not go to soothsayers." He said: I said, "We used to practice divination by omens (tatyayyur)." He said, "That is something one of you finds in his own heart, so let it not deter you."
