Prohibition of treatment without medical knowledge and the belief in the contagiousness of disease

① Amr bin Shu’aib narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

من تطبب ولم يعلم منه طب فهو ضامن

“Whoever does not have knowledge of medicine but still treats (someone), then (in case of harm) he is liable.”

① It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:

لا عدوىٰ ولا طيرة ويعجبني الفأل

“No disease is contagious, nor is there any reality in bad omen, but I like good omens.”
He was asked: What is a good omen? He said:

كلمة طيبة

“A good thing.”

② Sayyiduna Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهما reports that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:

لا عدوىٰ ولا طيرة ، وإنما الشؤم فى ثلاث : فى الفرس ، والمرأة ، والدار

“No disease is contagious, nor is there any reality in bad omen; misfortune is only in three things: the horse, the woman, and the house.”

③ It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:

لا عدوىٰ ولا طيرة ولا هامة ولا صفر

“The contagiousness of disease, the owl being unlucky, and the yellow color are nothing.”
