Umm Salamah, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to a small girl in the house of Umm Salamah that he had been seeing on her face black stains and told her that that was due to the influence of an evil eye, and he asked that she should be cured with the help of incantation (hoping) that her face should become spotless.

'Uthman bin Abu al-'As Al-Thaqafi reported that he made a complaint of pain to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he felt in his body at the time he had become Muslim. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Place your hand at the place where you feel pain in your body and say Bismillah (in the name of Allah) three times and seven times A'udhu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa ukhdhiru (I seek refuge with Allah and with His Power from the evil that I find and that I fear).

Umm Qais, daughter of Mihsan, the sister of 'Ukasha bin Mihsan said: I visited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with my son who had not, by that time, been weaned and he pissed over his (clothes). He ordered water to be brought and sprinkled (it) over them.

Umm Qais, daughter of Mihsan, was one of the earlier female emigrants who had pledged allegiance to Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ). She was the sister of Ukasha b. Mihsan, one of the posterity of Asad b. Khuzaima. She reported that she came to Allah's messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) along with her son who had not attained the age of weaning and she had compressed the swelling of his uvula. (Yunus said: She compressed the uvula because she was afraid that there might be swelling of uvula.) Thereupon Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said: Why do you afflict your children by compressing in this way? You should use Indian aloeswood, for it has seven remedies in it, one of them being the remedy for pleurisy. Ubaidullah reported that she had told that that was the child who had urinated in the lap of Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ), and Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) called for water and sprinkled it on his urine, but he did not wash it well.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Nigella seed is a remedy for every disease except death.

And it was narrated to me by Abu al-Tahir and Harmalah, who said: Ibn Wahb informed us, Younus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

And it was narrated to us by Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, and Amr al-Naqid, and Zuhair ibn Harb, and Ibn Abi Umar, who said: Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah narrated to us.

And it was narrated to us by Abd ibn Humaid, who said: Abd al-Razzaq informed us, Ma'mar informed us.

And it was narrated to us by Abdullah ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Darimi, who said: Abu al-Yaman informed us, Shu'ayb informed us—all of them from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with a narration similar to that of 'Uqayl. And in the narration of Sufyan and Younus: "the black seed," and he did not say "al-shuniz."

'A'isha the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: When there was any bereavement in her family the women gathered there for condolence and they departed except the members of the family and some selected persons. She asked to prepare talbina in a small couldron and it was cooked and then tharid was prepared and it was poured over talbina, then she said: Eat it, for I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Talbina gives comfort to the aggrieved heart and it lessens grief.

Usama bin Zaid reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this: This calamity or illness was a punishment with which were punished some of the nations before you. Then it was left upon the earth. It goes away once and comes back again. He who heard of its presence in a land should not go towards it, and he who happened to be in a land where it had broken out should not fly from it.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with a different chain of transmitters.

'Abdullah bin 'Abbas reported: Umar bin Khattab set out for Syria. As he came at Sargh (a town by the side of Hijaz on the way to Syria), there met him the commander of the forces, Abu Ubaida bin Jandb, and his companions. They informed him that a scourge had broken out in Syria. Ibn 'Abbas further reported that 'Umar said: Call to me the earliest emigrants. So I called them. He (Hadrat 'Umar) sought their advice, and they told him that the scourge had broken out in Syria. There was a difference of opinion (whether they should proceed further or go back to their homes in such a situation). Some of them said: You ('Umar) have set forth for a task, and, therefore, we would not advise you to go back, whereas some of them said: You have along with you the remnants (of the sacred galaxy) of men and (the blessed) Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , so we would not advise you to go forth towards this calamity (with such eminent persons and thus expose them deliberately to a danger). He (Hadrat 'Umar) said: You can now go away. He said: Call to me the Ansar. So I called them to him, and he consulted them, and they trod the same path as was trodden by the Muhajirin, and they differed in their opinions as they had differed. He said: Now, you can go. He again said: Call to me the old persons of the Quraish who had migrated before the Victory (that is the Victory of Makkah), so I called them (and Hadrat 'Umar consulted them) and not even two persons differed (from the opinion held by the earlier delegates). They said: Our opinion is that you better go back along with the people and do not make them go to this scourge, So 'Umar made announcement to the people: In the morning I would be on the back of my side. So they (set forth in the morning), whereupon Abu 'Ubaida bin Jarrah said: Are you going to run away from the Divine Decree? Thereupon 'Umar said: Had it been someone else to say this besides you! 'Umar (in fact) did not approve of his opposing (this decision) and he said: Yes, we are running from the Divine Decree (to the) Divine Decree. You should think if there had been camels for you and you happened to get down in a valley having two sides, one of them covered with verdure and the other being barren, would you not (be doing) according to the Divine Decree if you graze them in verdure? And in case you graze them in the barren land (even then you would be grazing them) according to the Divine Decree. There happened to come 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf and he had been absent in connection with some of his needs. He said: I have with me a knowledge of it, that I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If you hear of its presence (the presence of plague) in a land, don't enter it, but if it spreads in the land where you are, don't fly from it. Thereupon 'Umar bin Khattab praised Allah and then went back?

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of 'Abdullah bin Harith with a slight variation of wording.

'Amir bin Rabi'ah reported: 'Umar went to Syria and as he came to Sargh, information was given to him that an epidemic had broken out in Syria. 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf narrated to him that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had said: When you hear of its presence in a land, don't move towards it, and when it breaks out in a land and you are therein, then don't run away from it. So 'Umar bin Khattab came back from Sargh.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is no infection, no safar, no hama. A desert Arab said: Allah's Messenger, how is it that when the camel is in the sand it is like a deer-then a camel afflicted with scab mixes with it and it is affected by sub? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Who infected the first one?

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is no transitive disease, no evil omen, no safar, no hama. A desert Arab said: Allah's, Messenger.... The rest of the hadith is the same.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is no transitive disease. Thereupon a desert Arab stood up. The rest of the hadith is the same and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Zuhri' the Prophet (ﷺ) is reported to have said: There is no transitive disease, no safar, no hama.

Abu Salama bin 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is no transitive disease, but he is also reported to have said: A sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy. Abu Salama said that Abu Hurairah (RA) used to narrate these two (different ahadith) from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , but afterwards Abu Hurairah (RA) became silent on these words: "There is no transitive disease," but he stuck to this that the sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy. Harith bin Abu Dhubab (and he was the first cousin of Abu Hurairah (RA) ) said: Abu Hurairah (RA) , I used to hear from you that you narrated to us along with this hadith and the other one also (there is no transitive disease), but now you observe silence about it. You used to say that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: There is no transitive disease. Abu Hurairah (RA) denied having any knowledge of that, but he said that the sick camel should not be taken to the healthy one. Harith, however, did not agree with him, which irritated Abu Hurairah (RA) and he said to him some words in the Abyssinian language. He said to Harith (RA) : Do you know what I said to you? He said: No. Abu Hurairah (RA) said: I simply denied having said it. Abu Salama sad: By my life, Abu Hurairah (RA) in fact used to report Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said: There is no transitive disease. I do not know whether Abu Hurairah (RA) has forgotten it or he deemed it an abrogated statement in the light of the other one.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is no transitive disease and he also reported along with it: The ill should not be taken to the healthy.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is no divination but the best type is the good omen. It was said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) : What is good omen? Thereupon he said: A good word which one of you hears.

None of them mention in the hadith of Ibn ‘Umar contagion and bird omens except Yunus ibn Yazid.

Mu'awiyah bin al-Hakam as-Sulami reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, there were things we used to do in the pre-Islamic days. We used to visit Kahins, whereupon he said: Don't visit Kahins. I said: We used to take omens. He said: That is a sort of personal whim of yours, so let it not prevent you (from doing a thing).

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Zuhri with a slight variation of wording.

'A'isha reported: I said: Allah's Messenger, the kahins used to tell us about things (unseen) and we found them to be true. Thereupon he said: That is a word pertaining to truth which a jinn snatches and throws into the ear of his friend, and makes an addition of one hundred lies to it.

'Urwa reported from 'A'isha that she said that people asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the kahins. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them: It is nothing (i. e. it is a mere superstition). They said: Allah's Messenger, they at times narrate to us things which we find true. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: That is a word pertaining to truth which a jinn snatches away and then cackles into the ear of his friend as the hen does. And then they mix in it more than one hundred lies.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters.

'Abdullah. Ibn 'Abbas reported: A person from the Ansar who was amongst the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reported to me: As we were sitting during the night with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , a meteor shot gave a dazzling light. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: What did you say in the pre-Islamic days when there was such a shot (of meteor)? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best (the actual position), but we, however, used to say that that very night a great man had been born and a great man had died, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: (These meteors) are shot neither at the death of anyone nor on the birth of anyone. Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, issues Command when He decides to do a thing. Then (the Angels) supporting the Throne sing His glory, then sing the dwellers of heaven who are near to them until this glory of God reaches them who are in the heaven of this world. Then those who are near the supporters of the Throne ask these supporters of the Throne: What has your Lord said? And they accordingly inform them what He says. Then the dwellers of heaven seek information from them until this information reaches the heaven of the world. In this process of transmission (the jinn snatches) what he manages to overhear and he carries it to his friends. And when the Angels see the jinn they attack them with meteors. If they narrate only which they manage to snatch that is correct but they alloy it with lies and make additions to it.

The hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri through the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.

Salim, on the authority of his father. reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: Kill the snakes having stripes over them and short-tailed snakes, for these two types cause miscarriage (of a pregnant woman) and they affect the eyesight adversely. So Ibn 'Umar used to kill every snake that he found. Abu Lubaba bin 'Abdul Mundhir and Zaid bin Khattab saw him pursuing a snake, whereupon he said: They were forbidden (to kill) those snakes who live in houses.

Ibn 'Umar reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanding the killing of dogs and the killing of the striped and the short-tailed snakes, for both of them affect the eyesight adversely and cause miscarriage. Zuhri said: We thought of their poison (the pernicious effects of these two). Allah, however, knows best. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: I did not spare any snake. I rather killed everyone that I saw. One day as I was pursuing a snake from amongst the snakes of the house, Zaid bin Khattab or Abu Lubaba happened to pass by me and found me pursuing it. He said: 'Abdullah, wait. I said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded (us) to kill them, whereupon he said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the killing of the snakes of the houses.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: An ant had bitten a Prophet (ﷺ) (one amongst the earlier Prophets) and he ordered that the colony of the ants should be burnt.
