found out in a hadith that Prophet PBUH told us that Jinn the
fortuneteller a part of truth and then fortune teller mix it with a
hundred lies and tells to us , In another hadiths Prophet PBUH tells
us that Astrology is only based on lies " Sun and Moon are only Signs
of Allah"
So How does Jinn tells the fortune while only Allah knows the Fortune?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Knowledge of the unseen is something that Allaah has kept for Himself,
as is indicated by the texts of the Qur'aan and Sunnah. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"Say: "None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghaib (Unseen)
except Allaah, nor can they perceive when they shall be resurrected"
[al-Naml 27:65]
"And with Him are the keys of the Ghayb (all that is hidden), none
knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is in the land and in
the sea; not a leaf falls, but He knows it. There is not a grain in
the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry, but is written in
a Clear Record"
[al-An'aam 6:59]
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained
these keys as referring to five things which are mentioned in Soorat
Luqmaan, where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Verily, Allaah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He
sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person
knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he
will die. Verily, Allaah is All‑Knower, All‑Aware (of things)"
[Luqmaan 31:34].
Al-Bukhaari narrated in hisSaheeh(hadeeth no. 4477) that 'Aa'ishah
(may Allaah be pleased with her) said: "Whoever tells you that he
knows what will happen tomorrow is lying." Then she recited, "No
person knows what he will earn tomorrow."
But with regard to this matter it is important to know what is the
unseen the knowledge of which Allaah has kept to Himself, because
al-ghayb (the unseen) means that which is not seen, and that which is
not seen may be either that which is not seen by all of creation –
both those who are in the heavens and those who are on earth – this
kind of unseen is known to no one but Allaah, and this is that which
is called al-ghayb al-mutlaq (the unseen in the absolute sense); or
this unseen matter may be unseen for some people, and known to some
others. This is called unseen for the one who is ignorant of it, but
it is not unseen or unknown to all people, and knowledge of it is not
unique to Allaah. Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him)
said inSharh al-'Aqeedah al-Waasitiyyah(p. 158): What is meant by the
unseen is that which is not seen. The unseen is something relative.
But that which is unseen in the absolute sense (al-ghyab al-mutlaq) is
known only to Allaah. End quote.
What fortune-tellers say of things that will happen in the future has
nothing to do with the unseen or with knowledge of the unseen, and it
is not knowledge of what will happen in the future. Rather they are
liars who make false claims. But the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) has told us that they steal knowledge of that
which Allaah has revealed to His angels. It was narrated that
'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: Some people asked the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about
fortune-tellers, and he said: "They are nothing." They said: O
Messenger of Allaah, they say something and it comes true. The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "That is a word of
truth which the jinni snatches and cackles into the ear of his
familiar like the cackling of a hen, and they mix more than one
hundred lies with it." Narrated by al-Bukhaari (7561).
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained how
the jinn steal this word. He said: "…when our Lord, may His name be
blessed and exalted, decrees some matter, the bearers of the Throne
glorify Him, then the people of heaven who are closest to them glorify
Him, until the tasbeeh reaches the people of the lowest heaven. Then
those who are nearest to the bearers of the Throne say: What did your
Lord say? And they tell them what He said. And the people of heaven
ask one another for the news, until the news reaches the lowest
heaven. Then the eavesdropping jinn snatch what they can and convey it
to their familiars. What they narrated as they heard it is true, but
they add lies to it." Narrated by Muslim (2229).
From this it is clear that the jinn do not have knowledge of the
unseen, rather they steal words that they hear from the angels, but
the angels themselves do not have any knowledge of that unless Allaah
tells them of it. After they are told of it, it is no longer regarded
as unseen in the absolute sense, but before that they are like anyone
else in creation and do not know anything of the unseen. This depends
on Allaah's telling them of it. Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
""(He Alone is) the All‑Knower of the Ghayb (Unseen), and He reveals
to none His Ghayb (Unseen)"
[al-Jinn 72:26].
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The noblest
of the angelic Messengers, Jibreel, asked the noblest of the human
Messengers, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him),
"Tell me about the Hour." He said: "The one who is asked about it is
does not know any more about it than the one who is asking" meaning,
just as you have no knowledge of it, I have no knowledge of it either.
End quote.

And Allaah knows best.
