Is the hadith of Qabisah authenticMishkat al-Masabih 4583?
Answer:
There is no harm in it; the chain of narration is good. Imam Ahmad narrated it with a good chain.
Q: It is said that Hayyan ibn al-‘Ala’ in it is unknown?
A: There is no harm in it. No, he is not unknown; he is acceptable and has corroborating narrations.
Q: Abu Dawud’s explanation of al-Tariq and al-‘Iyafah contains a reversal. He said: Al-‘Iyafah is divination by lines, and al-Tariq is driving away?
A: No, al-Tariq is divination by lines, and al-‘Iyafah is driving away birds. This is an error in transmission. And al-Tiyr is taking an omen as a bad sign from things seen and heard.
