Q
What is the significance of distinguishing between truth and lies in the context of foretelling future events?
A
Some people asked Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about the fore-tellers. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said to them, “They are
nothing (i.e., liars).” The people said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ! Sometimes they tell something which
comes out to be true.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “That word which comes to be true is what a jinx snatches
away by stealing and then pours it in the ear of his fore-teller with a sound similar to the cackle of a
hen, and then they add to it one-hundred lies.”
