It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) that it was said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Omen (fa’l) is in three things: the house, the horse, and the wife? He said: (If I answer in the affirmative, it would mean) I have attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) something which he did not say. However, I did hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "The best omen is the good omen, and the evil eye is also true."
