Hadith 3910
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).
Hadith 3911
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ الْعَسْقَلانِيُّ ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا طِيَرَةَ وَلَا صَفَرَ وَلَا هَامَّةَ " . فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ : مَا بَالُ الْإِبِلِ تَكُونُ فِي الرَّمْلِ كَأَنَّهَا الظِّبَاءُ ، فَيُخَالِطُهَا الْبَعِيرُ الْأَجْرَبُ ، فَيُجْرِبُهَا ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ أَعْدَى الْأَوَّلَ ، قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ : قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : فَحَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَا يُورِدَنَّ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ ، قَالَ : فَرَاجَعَهُ الرَّجُلُ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَيْسَ قَدْ حَدَّثَنَا عَنِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا صَفَرَ وَلَا هَامَةَ ؟ " قَالَ : لَمْ أُحَدِّثْكُمُوهُ ؟ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ : قَدْ حَدَّثَ بِهِ وَمَا سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ نَسِيَ حَدِيثًا قَطُّ غَيْرَهُ .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: There is no infection, no evil, omen or serpent, in a hungry belly and no hamah. A nomadic Arab asked: How is it that when camels are in the sand as if they were gazelles and a mangy camel comes among them and it gives them mange ? He replied: Who infected the first one ? Mamar, quoting al-Zuhri said: A man told me that Abu Hurairah narrated to him saying that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: A diseased camel should not be brought with a healthy camel to drink water. He said: The man then consulted him and said: Did you not tell us that Prophet ﷺ had said: There is no infection, no serpent in a hungry belly and no hamah? He replied: I did not transmit it to you. Al-Zuhri said: Abu Salamah said: He had narrated it and I did not hear that Abu Hurairah had ever forgotten any tradition except this one.
Hadith 3912
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا هَامَةَ وَلَا نَوْءَ وَلَا صَفَرَ " .

Hadith 3914
قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : قُرِئَ عَلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ ، أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَشْهَبُ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ مَالِكٌ : عَنْ قَوْلِهِ : لَا صَفَرَ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كَانُوا يُحِلُّونَ صَفَرَ يُحِلُّونَهُ عَامًا ، وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُ عَامًا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا صَفَرَ ،
Abu Dawud said: Malik was asked about the meaning of his saying: There is no safar. He replied: The people of pre-Islamic Arabia used to make the month of safar lawful (for war). They made it lawful in one year and unlawful in another year. The Prophet ﷺ said: There is no safar.
Hadith 3915
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا طِيَرَةَ ، وَيُعْجِبُنِي الْفَأْلُ الصَّالِحُ وَالْفَأْلُ الصَّالِحُ الْكَلِمَةُ الْحَسَنَةُ " .
Muhammad bin al-Musaffa said to us on the authority of Baqiyyah. He said: I asked Muhammad bin Rashid about the meaning of the word hamah. He replied: The pre-Islamic Arabs used to say: When anyone dies and is buried, a bird comes forth from his grave. I asked: What did he mean by safar ? He said: I heard that the pre-Islamic Arabs used to take evil omen from safar. So the Prophet ﷺ said: There is no safar. Muhammad (b. Rashid) said: We heard someone say: It is a pain in the stomach. They said that it was infection. Hence he said: There is no safar.
Hadith 3916
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ قال : قُلْتُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ رَاشِدٍ ، قَوْلُهُ هَامَ ، قَالَ : كَانَت الْجَاهِلِيَّةُ تَقُولُ : لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَمُوتُ ، فَيُدْفَنُ ، إِلَّا خَرَجَ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ هَامَةٌ ، قُلْتُ : فَقَوْلُهُ " صَفَرَ " قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَسْتَشْئِمُونَ بِصَفَرَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا صَفَرَ " ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ : وَقَدْ سَمِعْنَا مَنْ يَقُولُ هُوَ وَجَعٌ يَأْخُذُ فِي الْبَطْنِ ، فَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ هُوَ يُعْدِي ، فَقَالَ : " لَا صَفَرَ " .
Narrated Anas: The Prophet ﷺ as saying: There is no infection and no evil omen, and I like a good omen. Good omen means a good word.
Hadith 3917
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ ، عَنْ سُهَيلٍ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، " أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ كَلِمَةً فَأَعْجَبَتْهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَخَذْنَا فَأْلَكَ مِنْ فِيكَ " .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard a word, and he liked it, he said: We took your omen from your mouth.
Hadith 3918
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، قَالَ : يَقُولُ : " وَجَعٌ يَأْخُذُ فِي الْبَطْنِ ، النَّاسُ الصَّفَرُ ، قُلْتُ : فَمَا الْهَامَةُ ؟ ، قَالَ : يَقُولُ النَّاسُ : الْهَامَةُ الَّتِي تَصْرُخُ هَامَةُ النَّاسِ وَلَيْسَتْ بِهَامَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ دَابَّةٌ " .
Narrated Ata: People said: safar is a pain within the belly. I asked: What is hamah ? He said: People said (believed) that hamah which is an owl or a nightbird and which shrieks is the spirit of men. It is not the spirit of men. It is an animal.
Hadith 3919
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، وَأبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ شَيْبَةَ الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ أَحْمَدُ ، الْقُرَشِيُّ قَالَ : " ذُكِرَتِ الطِّيَرَةُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : أَحْسَنُهَا الْفَأْلُ وَلَا تَرُدُّ مُسْلِمًا فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُ ، فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ لَا يَأْتِي بِالْحَسَنَاتِ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، وَلَا يَدْفَعُ السَّيِّئَاتِ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ " .
Narrated Urwah ibn Amir al-Qurashi: When taking omens was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, he said: The best type is the good omen, and it does not turn back a Muslim. If one of you sees anything he dislikes, he should say: O Allah, no one brings good things except Thee, and no one averts evil things except Thee and there is no might and power but in Allah.
Hadith 3920
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَانَ لَا يَتَطَيَّرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ، وَكَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ عَامِلًا سَأَلَ عَنِ اسْمِهِ ، فَإِذَا أَعْجَبَهُ اسْمُهُ فَرِحَ بِهِ وَرُئِيَ بِشْرُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَرِهَ اسْمَهُ رُئِيَ كَرَاهِيَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، وَإِذَا دَخَلَ قَرْيَةً سَأَلَ عَنِ اسْمِهَا ، فَإِنْ أَعْجَبَهُ اسْمُهَا فَرِحَ وَرُئِيَ بِشْرُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَرِهَ اسْمَهَا رُئِيَ كَرَاهِيَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ " .
Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: The Prophet ﷺ did not take omens from anything, but when he sent out an agent he asked about his name. If it pleased him, he was glad about it, and his cheerfulness on that account was visible in his face. If he disliked his name, his displeasure on that account was visible in his face. When he entered a village, he asked about its name, and if it pleased him, he was glad about it, and his cheerfulness on that account was visible in his face. But if he disliked its name, his displeasure on that account was visible in his face.
Hadith 3921

Narrated Saad ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ said: There is no hamah, no infection and no evil omen; if there is in anything an evil omen, it is a house, a horse, and a woman.
Hadith 3922
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ ، وَسَالِمٍ ابْنَيْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " الشُّؤْمُ فِي الدَّارِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ وَالْفَرَسِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : قُرِئَ عَلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ ، أَخْبَرَكَ ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ مَالِكٌ عَنِ الشُّؤْمِ فِي الْفَرَسِ وَالدَّارِ ، قَالَ : كَمْ مِنْ دَارٍ سَكَنَهَا نَاسٌ ، فَهَلَكُوا ثُمَّ سَكَنَهَا آخَرُونَ ، فَهَلَكُوا ؟ فَهَذَا تَفْسِيرُهُ فِيمَا نَرَى وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : حَصِيرٌ فِي الْبَيْتِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ لَا تَلِدُ .
It was narrated from Abdullah bin Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "An omen is in a dwelling, a woman or a horse. " Abu Dawud said: This tradition was read out to al-Harith bin Miskin and I was witness. It was said to him that Ibn Qasim told him that Malik was asked about evil omen in a horse and in a house. He replied: There are many houses in which people lived and perished and again others lived therein and they also perished. This is its explanation so far as we know. Allah knows best. Abu Dawud said: Umar (ra) said: A mat in a house better than a woman who does not give birth to a child.
Hadith 3923
حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، وَعَبَّاسُ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَحِيرٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ فَرْوَةَ بْنَ مُسَيْكٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَرْضٌ عِنْدَنَا يُقَالُ لَهَا أَرْضُ أَبْيَنَ هِيَ أَرْضُ رِيفِنَا وَمِيرَتِنَا وَإِنَّهَا وَبِئَةٌ ، أَوْ قَالَ : وَبَاؤُهَا شَدِيدٌ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : دَعْهَا عَنْكَ فَإِنَّ مِنَ الْقَرَفِ التَّلَفَ " .
Yahya ibn Abdullah ibn Buhayr said that he was informed by one who had heard Farwah ibn Musayk tell that he said: Messenger of Allah! we have land called Abyan, which is the land where we have our fields and grow our crops, but it is very unhealthy. The Prophet ﷺ said: Leave it, for destruction comes from being near disease.
