Sahih al-Bukhari 4701

It is related from Abu Hurayra who conveyed that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who said, "When Allah decrees a matter in the heaven, the angels beat their wings from obedience to His words, like chain dragged across smooth stone. ('Ali and others said, 'Over smooth stone. That reaches them.") 'So that when the terror has left their hearts they will say, 'What did your Lord say?' They will say, 'The Truth. He is the All-High, the Most Great.'" (34:25) Then those that gain a hearing by stealth will hear it, and those that gain a hearing by stealth will be like this, one on top of the other," and Sufyan illustrated with his hand and spread apart the fingers of his right hand and placed one hand over the other. "A flame might catch the listener before he conveys it to his companion and burns him up, and it might not catch him before he conveys it to the one below him who conveys it to the one lower than him until it is cast to the earth." (Sufyan might have said, "Until it reaches the earth.") "Then it is given to the mouth of the sorcerer who tells a hundred lies with it. It will be proven true and they will say, 'Didn't he tell us on such-and-such a day that such-and-such would occur and we have found it to be true? on account of the word which was heard from heaven." It is related from Abu Hurayra, "When Allah decrees the command," and he added, "the soothsayer." It is related that Abu Hurayra said, "When Allah decrees the command," and he said, "the mouth of the sorcerer." I said to Sufyan, "Did you hear from 'Amr say, 'I heard it 'Ikrima say, "I heard Abu Hurayra"'?" He said, "Yes." I said to Sufyan, "Someone relates from you from 'Amr from 'Ikrima from Abu Hurayra, and makes it go back to the Prophet (marfu') that he recited, "fuzzi' (when terror has left)" (34:23) He said, "'Amr recited it like that. I do not know whether he heard it like that or not." Suyfan said, "It is our recitation."
