What a man says on feeling an evil omen

Urwah bin Amir said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about evil omens. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The truest of it is the good omen, and it does not turn back a Muslim. So when you take from something an evil omen that you dislike, recite these words: 'O Allah, none but You can bring good, and none but You can remove evil, and there is no power to avoid sins and no strength to do good except with the help of Allah.'"

Urwah bin Amir said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about evil omens. Then the narrator mentioned the hadith just like that of Abu Mu'awiyah, except that he mentioned these words: "There is no power to avoid sins and no strength to do good except with Your help."

Nafi' bin Jubayr said that Ka'b asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do you take evil omens?" He said: "Yes." He asked: "What supplication do you recite?" Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Allah, there is no evil omen except from You, there is no good except from You, and there is no Lord besides You." Ka'b said: "You are the greatest jurist among the Arabs."
