Hazrat Urwah bin Aamir narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked about bad omens. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The truest thing in it is a good omen. It does not prevent any Muslim. So when you take a bad omen from something that you dislike, then recite these words: O Allah! No one can bring good except You, and no one can avert evil except You, and there is no power to avoid sins and no strength to do good except with Allah’s help.

Hazrat Urwah bin Amir narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about bad omens. Then the narrator mentioned the hadith similar to Abu Muawiyah, but included these words: The ability to avoid sins and the strength to do good deeds is only through Allah's help.

Hazrat Nafi’ bin Jubair narrates that Hazrat Ka’b asked Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him):“Do you take bad omens?”He replied:“Yes!”He asked:“What supplication do you recite?”Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) replied:“O Allah! There is no bad omen except from You, and there is no goodness except from You, and there is no sustainer except You.”Upon this, Hazrat Ka’b said:“You are the greatest jurist among the Arabs.”

Hazrat Abu Qatadah narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Good dreams are from Allah, and bad dreams are from Satan. So when any one of you sees a bad dream, he should spit three times to his left side and seek refuge from its evil. It will never harm him.

Hazrat Jabir narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When any one of you sees a dream that he dislikes, he should spit three times to his left and seek Allah’s protection from Satan three times, and he should change the side on which he was lying.

Ibrahim al-Nakha'i says that some of the Companions would supplicate as follows: I seek refuge with those words with which Allah's angels and His messengers sought refuge from the evil of that which I have seen in my sleep, that nothing of that affliction should reach me which I dislike in this world and the Hereafter.

Hazrat Abu Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a man from the tribe of Banu Kahil, narrates that Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari addressed us and said: One day, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us and said: O people! Beware of shirk (associating partners with Allah), for surely it is more hidden than the sound of an ant's footsteps. So whoever wanted to ask, asked: O Messenger of Allah, how can we protect ourselves from it when it is more hidden than the sound of an ant's footsteps? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite these words: O Allah! We seek refuge in You from associating anything with You knowingly, and we seek Your forgiveness for what we do not know.

Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: O Allah! I make a covenant with You which You will fulfill on the Day of Resurrection. Surely, You do not break Your promise. Indeed, I am a human being. Any Muslim whom I have caused harm to, or spoken harshly to, or he said: whom I have struck, or whom I have cursed, then grant him mercy. And purify him, and grant him such closeness that You bring him near to Yourself on the Day of Resurrection.

Hazrat Salman narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I am from the children of Adam. So, if there is any person from my Ummah upon whom I have invoked a curse or whom I have spoken harshly to without them deserving it, then You (O Allah), grant them mercy.

Hazrat Jabir narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! Any believing servant upon whom I have invoked a curse, or whom I have spoken harshly to, or whom I have struck—make these things a means of purification and reward for him.
