No contagious disease; reality of "safar" and "ghoul"
Hadith 226
- " لا عدوى ولا طيرة ولا صفر ولا هامة، فقال أعرابي: ما بال الإبل تكون في الرمل كأنها الظباء فيخالطها بعير أجرب فيجربها؟ قال: فمن أعدى الأول؟ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no contagious disease, nor is there any bad omen, and the month of Safar is not unlucky, nor does the owl (have any reality)." A Bedouin said: "Then how is it that a camel, when it walks in the sand like a deer (i.e., is healthy), but when a mangy camel mixes with it, it also gets mange?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(Well, tell me this,) who gave the first camel mange?"
