There was one incident that was: Narrated by Umar Ibn Khattabs (Radiyallahu Anhu) son Abdullah. He said: one day a handsome man walked infront of us, so my father looked at him. He looked at his face and said: If my intituition is right this man was a [كاهن] a fortune teller for his people. This is what you call a Farasa [فراسة] is the art of reading the face and Umar Ibn Khattab had that ability. It’s a gift from Allah (SW). You look into the face of somebody and you read their personality. And Umar Ibn Khattab was good at Farasa. So by just looking at face of this man he never met him before, he read his face and he said: This man used to be a fotune-teller of his people. So they called the man and he said I have never seen something like this before, he was amazed. Umar Ibn Khattab told him to tell him about himself. By the way this issue of Farasa was seen as an art. They say that Ash-Shafi’i went to Yemen to learn Farasa. So its some kind of art to be taught, and it appears in some kind of culture like for example Chinese culture, they have some sort of different version of Farasa reading the face. But Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says: [أتقوا فراسة المؤمن فإن هو يرى بنور الله] Beware from the Farasa of the believer because he can see by the light of Allaah. So it’s a gift that is given by Allaah (SW) to certain people and Umar Ibn Khattab had it. So Umar Ibn Khattab called the man and the man said yes, I was the fortune teller of my people. Abdullah Ibn Umar Ibn Khattab said: Rarely the intituition of my father would go wrong.” It was always on target.
