Hadith 1614
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الطِّيَرَةُ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ وَمَا مِنَّا ، وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُذْهِبُهُ بِالتَّوَكُّلِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَحَابِسٍ التَّمِيمِيِّ ، وَعَائِشَةَ ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ ، وَسَعْدٍ ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، وَرَوَى شُعْبَةُ أَيْضًا ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْت مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيل ، يَقُولُ : كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ : " وَمَا مِنَّا وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُذْهِبُهُ بِالتَّوَكُّلِ " ، قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ : هَذَا عِنْدِي قَوْلُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ : " وَمَا مِنَّا " .
‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Pessimism is shirk (associating partners with Allah).” 1. (Ibn Mas’ud says:) There is none among us whose heart is not affected by such a thought, but Allah, due to reliance (tawakkul) on Him, removes that thought from the heart. © Imam Tirmidhi says:

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
To hold the belief that tiyarah (superstition or taking bad omens) has any effect in bringing benefit or harm is shirk (associating partners with Allah),
and to act upon it with such a belief is to commit shirk with Allah.
Therefore, when such a thought occurs, it is better to recite "La ilaha illallah" (There is no deity except Allah),
because whoever is troubled by a thought of bad omen, by reciting this and placing trust in Allah, Allah will remove this thought from him.

Benefits and Issues:
If, on any occasion, the thought of bad omen arises in the heart,
then its remedy is to place trust in Allah, that is, to bring to mind the reality that the owner of good and evil is Allah.
These birds and other creatures are not the cause of any calamity.
