Riyad us Saliheen
وعن قبيصة بن المخارق رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول‏:‏ ‏‏العِيافة، والطِّيَرة، والطرق، من الجبت‏"‏‏‏
Qabisah bin Al-Mukhariq (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "The practice of 'Iyafah, the interpretation of omens from the flight of birds, the practice of divination by drawing lines on the ground and taking evil omens are all practices of Al-Jibt (the idol, the diviner, or sorcerer)."

[Abu Dawud].
