Saeed bin Musayyib says: I asked Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) about bad omens. He rebuked me and said: Who told you this? I disliked mentioning the name of the one who told me. Then he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“There is no contagious disease, no bad omen, and no effect in the hooting of an owl. If there were to be bad omens, they would be in a horse, a wife, and a house. When you hear that a plague has spread in a certain area, do not go there, and if you are in that area, do not leave from it.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no contagious disease, no bad omen, no effect of the owl's cry, and no (evil in) Safar. And flee from the leper as you would flee from a lion."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no contagious disease and no reality in bad omens, but I like a good omen, that is, a good word (which gives encouragement)."

Abu Zinad says: The beloved, contented sons of the noble Companions, who were the best and most excellent people, narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no contagious disease, no omen in the hooting of an owl, no (evil in) Safar, and avoid the leper as one avoids a lion."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The sick should not be brought before the healthy."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever practices soothsaying, or soothsaying is practiced for him, or who returns from a journey taking an ill omen, cannot attain the highest ranks."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and affirms what he says, he has disbelieved in the Shari'ah revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)."

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a man with a brass ring on his arm and asked: "What is this?" He said: "It is because of weakness." He said: "If you die while wearing this ring, you will be entrusted to it." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever takes an evil omen or has an evil omen taken for him, or practices soothsaying or has soothsaying done for him, or practices magic or has magic done for him, he is not from among us."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever practices magic himself or magic is practiced for him, or whoever practices soothsaying or soothsaying is practiced for him, or whoever takes an evil omen or an evil omen is taken for him, he is not from among us."

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a man with a brass ring on his arm and asked: "What is this?" He said: "It is because of weakness."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever takes an evil omen or an evil omen is taken for him, or whoever practices soothsaying or soothsaying is practiced for him, or whoever practices magic or magic is practiced for him, he is not from among us."
