أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ 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 بِهَا، وَرُئِيَ بِشْرُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، وَإِنْ كَرِهَ اسْمَهَا رُئِيَ كَرَاهِيَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never took evil omens. Whenever he sent someone as an official, he would ask his name; if he liked the name, he would be pleased, and the joy could be seen on his (peace and blessings be upon him) face. If he disliked the name, displeasure would also appear on his (peace and blessings be upon him) face. And when he went to any town, he would ask about its name; if he liked it, the joy would be recognised on his (peace and blessings be upon him) face, and if he disliked it, displeasure would appear on his (peace and blessings be upon him) face.
