حَدَّثَنَا
خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ
أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ هل سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الطِّيَرَةُ فِي ثَلَاثٍ : فِي الْمَسْكَنِ ، وَالْفَرَسِ ، وَالْمَرْأَةِ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : إِذاً أَقُولَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَمْ يَقُلْ ، وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ :
" أَصْدَقُ الطِّيَرَةِ الْفَأْلُ ، وَالْعَيْنُ حَقٌّ " .
Muhammad bin Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) says that someone asked Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), "Have you heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say that bad omen is found in three things: in a house, in a horse, and in a woman?" He replied, "If I answer in the affirmative, I would be attributing to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) something he did not say. However, I did hear the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the truest omen is a good omen, and the evil eye is real."
