Hafsa reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying

“If anyone resorts to a diviner (arraf) and asks him about anything prayer will not be accepted from him for forty days.”* Muslim transmitted it. * Literally, Nights.

وعن حفصة قالت : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : " من أتى عرافا فسأله عن شيء لم تقبل صلاة أربعين ليلة " . رواه مسلم
