Saeed bin Musayyib narrates: I asked Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) about tiyarah (superstition), so he told me: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say, "There is no reality in contagion, superstition, or the owl (as an omen). If superstition were to exist in anything, it would be in a woman, a horse, or a house."
