The Book of
Superstitions and Soothsayings from Sunan Abu Dawud
3904 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Whoever
goes to a fortune-teller” – Musa (one of the narrators) said in his Hadith:
“and believed what he says,” – Then the two reports concur: “or has intercourse
with a woman” – Musad-dad (one of the narrators) said: “his wife” – “when she
is menstruating, or has intercourse with a woman” – Musad-dad said: “his wife”
– “in her back passage, has nothing to do with that which was revealed to
Muhammad (saw).” (Hasan)
3905 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The Prophet (saw) said: ‘Whoever learns
anything about astrology, he learns a branch of magic; the more he learns (of
the former) the more he learns (of the latter).’” (Hasan)
3906 It was
narrated from Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani that he said: “The Messenger of Allah
(saw) led us in praying Subh (Fajr) at Al-Hudaibiyyah, after it had rained at
night. When he finished, he turned to the people and said: ‘Do you know what
your Lord said?’ They said: ‘Allah and His messenger know best.’ ‘He said:
“This morning some of My slaves believe in Me and some disbelieve. As for the
one who said, ‘We got rain by the bounty and mercy of Allah,’ he is a believer
in Me and a disbeliever in the stars. But as for the one who said, ‘We got rain
by virtue of such and such a star, he is a disbeliever in Me and a believer in
the stars.’” (Sahih)
3907 It was
narrated from ‘Awf (who said): “Hayyan narrated to us” – someone other than
Musad-dad (one of the narrators) said: “Hayyan bin Al-‘Ala’” – he said: ‘Qatan
bin Qabisah narrated to us, from his father, who said: “I heard the Messenger
of Allah (saw) say: ‘Al-‘Iyafah, omens, and Tarq are from Al-Jibt.’ At-Tarq is
being dissuaded, and Al-‘Iyafah is Al-Khatt.” (Da’if)
3908 It was
narrated from ‘Awf, who said: “Al-‘Iyafah, is being dissuaded by (bird) omens,
and Tarq refers to the lines that are drawn in the ground.” (Sahih)
3909 It was
narrated that Mu’awiyah bin Al-Hakam As-Sulami said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah, there are among us men who seek divination by drawing lines?’ He said:
‘One of the Prophets used to do that; if a person’s Khatt is in accordance with
his, that is fine.’” (Sahih)
3910 It was narrated
from ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “At-Tiyarah
is Shirk, At-Tiyarah is Shirk,” (he said it three times). All of us have some
of that, but Allah removes it by means of reliance upon Him. (Sahih)
3911 It was
narrated from Ma’mar, from Az-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurairah who
said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘There is no ‘Adwa, no Tiyarah, no
Safar and no Hamah.’ A Bedouin said: ‘What about camels that are running about
in the sand like deer, then a mungy camel comes to them and they all get
infected?’ He said: ‘Who infected the first one?’”
Ma’mar (one of the narrators) said: “Az-Zuhri said: ‘A
man narrated to me from Abu Hurairah, that he heard the Prophet (saw) say: “A
sick one should not be brought near healthy ones.’” He said: ‘The man
questioned him and said: “Did you not narrate to us that the Prophet (saw)
said: ‘There is no ‘Adwa, no Safar and no Hamah?’” He said: “I did not narrate
that to you.” Az-Zuhri said: ‘Abu Salamah said: “He did narrate it, and I did
not hear that Abu Hurairah forgot any Hadith except this one.” (Sahih)
3912 It was
narrated from Al-‘Ala’, from his father, from Abu Hurairah, who said: “The
Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘There is no ‘Adwa, no Hamah, no Naw’, and no
Safar.’” (Sahih)
3913 It was
narrated from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurairah, that the Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: “There is no Ghoul.” (Hasan)
3914 It was
narrated that Malik was asked about the saying: “There is no Safar.” He said:
“The people of the Jahiliyyah would make Safar permissible (for war); they
would regard it as permissible one year and regard it as sacred (forbidding
war) another year. So the Prophet (saw) said: ‘No Safar.’” (Sahih)
3915 It was
narrated from Anas that the Prophet (saw) said: “There is no ‘Adwa and no
Tiyarah, but I like Al-Fa’l (optimism). Al-Fa’l is a good word.” (Hasan)
3916 Muhammad
bin Al-Musaffa narrated to us: “Baqiyyah said: ‘I said to Muhammad bin Rashid:
“What does Hamah mean?” He said: “During the Jahiliyyah they said that no one
died and was buried but a bird (Hamah) came out of his grave.” I said: “What
does Safar mean?” He said: “We heard that the people of the Jahiliyyah regarded
Safar as inauspicious, so the Prophet (saw) said: ‘No Safar.’” Muhammad said:
“And we heard someone say that it was a pain in the belly, and they used to say
that it was infectious, so he said: ‘No Safar.’” (Sahih)
3917 It was
narrated from Wuhaib bin Suhail, from a man, from Abu Hurairah, that the
Messenger of Allah (saw) heard a word and liked it, and he said: “We have taken
your Fa’l from your mouth.” (Hasan)
3918 It was
narrated from Ibn Juraij, from ‘Ata’, he said: “People say that Safar is a pain
in the belly.” I said: “What is Al-Hamah?” He said: “People say that the Hamah
that shrieks is the spirit of a man, but it is not the spirit of a man, rather
it is a creature.” (Sahih)
3919 It was
narrated from ‘Urwah bin ‘Amir, - Ahmad said: Al-Qurashi – said: “At-Tiyarah
was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet (saw), and he said: “The best of
it is Fa’l, but it should not prevent a Muslim from (going ahead with his
plans). If one of you sees something that he dislikes, let him say: ‘Allahumma!
La ya’ti bil-hasanata illa anta wa la yadfa’ussayyi’ati illa anta, wa la hawla
wa la quwwata illa bika (O Allah, no one brings good things but You, and no one
wards off bad things but You, and there is no power and no strength except in
You).’” (Da’if)
3920 It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Buraidah, from his father, that the Prophet (saw)
was not superstitious about anything. When he sent an agent, he would ask about
his name. If he liked his name he would be happy and that cheerfulness could be
seen on his face. If he disliked his name, that dislike could be seen on his
face. When he entered a town he would ask about its name, and if he liked its
name he would be happy and that cheerfulness could be seen on his face, and if
he disliked its name, that dislike could be seen on his face. (Da’if)
3921 It was
narrated from Sa’d bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (saw) used to say:
“There is no Hamah, no ‘Adwa, and no Tiyarah. If there is an omen in anything,
it is in a horse, a woman or a dwelling.” (Hasan)
3922 It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “An
omen is in a dwelling, a woman or a horse.” (Sahih)
Abu Dawud said: It was read before Al-Harith bin Miskin
when I was present. It was said to him: “Ibn Al-Qasim informed you: ‘Malik was
asked about omens in horses and dwellings, he said: “How many houses were
inhabited by people who perished, then they were inhabited by other people who
also perished.” This is the explanation of that, as far as we can tell.
Abu Dawud said: ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him,
said: “A mat in a house is better than a woman who does not bear children.”
(Sahih)
3923 Yahya bin
‘Abdullah bin Bahir said: Someone who heard told me, that Farwah bin Musaik
said: I said: “O Messenger of Allah, we have some land that is called the land
of Abyan, and it is the land where we have our fields and grow our crops, but
it is unhealthy,” or he said: “very unhealthy.” The Prophet (saw) said: “Leave
it, for death comes from being in a land that is disease-ridden.’” (Da’if)
3924 It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “A man said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we lived
in a house where our numbers were many and our wealth was great, then we moved
to another house where our numbers became few and our wealth decreased.’ The
Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Leave it, for it is bad.’” (Da’if)
3925 It was
narrated from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah (saw) took the hand of a leper
and placed it in the dish with him and said: “Eat, depending on Allah and
relying upon Him.” (Da’if)
