The word yawm (day) is mentioned 365 times in the Qur’aan, the number of days in a year. In order to prove this '''he counted the words “al-yawm” and “yawman” but he ignored words such as “yawmukum” (your day) and “yawmuhum” (their day) and yawma’idhin (on that day), because if he had done that, he would have got a different number'''. The same applies to the word al-isti’aadhah which refers to seeking refuge from the shaytaan. He says that it is repeated 11 times, but he includes in that the words “a’oodhu” (I seek refuge) and “fasta’idh” (seek refuge) but not “ ‘udhtu” (I sought refuge) or “ya’oodhoona” (they seek refuge) or “u’eedhuha” (I seek refuge for her) or “ma’aadh Allaah” (Allaah forbid).}} | The word yawm (day) is mentioned 365 times in the Qur’aan, the number of days in a year.

* Ibn Hajar cited that Ibn Abbas, the cousin of Muhammad warned against seeking the divination through the numerical numbers of the litters, because this is equal in deed to the witchcraft.<ref>{{external link| url = https://archive.org/details/PerfectGuideToTheSciencesOfTheQuranByImamAlSuyuti/page/n235/mode/2up| title= Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti - Perfect Guide to the Sciences of the Quran - Translated by Muneer Fareed, page 236 (chapter "l-Muhtam and 'l-Mutashabih", page 32)| publisher = | author = Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti, entry #1168 | date = | archiveurl = | deadurl = no}} - page sourced from archive.org</ref> | |||
