حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ عَيْسَى بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ زِرِ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " الطِّيَرَةُ شِرْكٌ الطِّيَرَةُ شِرْكٌ ثَلَاثًا ، وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُذْهِبُهُ بِالتَّوَكُّلِ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Prophet ﷺ said: Taking omens is polytheism; taking omens is polytheism. He said it three times. Every one of us has some, but Allah removes it by trust (in Him).

Explanation:
1:
To hold the belief that tiyarah (superstition or taking bad omens) has any effect in bringing benefit or harm is shirk (associating partners with Allah),
and to act upon it with such a belief is to commit shirk with Allah.
Therefore, when such a thought occurs, it is better to recite "La ilaha illallah" (There is no deity except Allah),
because whoever is troubled by a thought of bad omen, by reciting this and placing trust in Allah, Allah will remove this thought from him.

Benefits and Issues:
If, on any occasion, the thought of bad omen arises in the heart,
then its remedy is to place trust in Allah, that is, to bring to mind the reality that the owner of good and evil is Allah.
These birds and other creatures are not the cause of any calamity.
