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.
