Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī

No contagion, evil omens, and plague quarantine

ahmad:1554 – Ismāʿīl > Hishām al-Dastuwāʾī > Yaḥyā b. Abī Kathīr > al-Ḥaḍramī b. Lāḥiq > Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib > Saʿd b. Abī Waqqāṣ

[AI] "There is no contagion, no evil omen, and no hamah. If an evil omen were in anything, it would be in the horse, the woman, and the house. If you hear of plague in a land, do not go down to it. And if it is in a land while you are there, do not flee from it."

أحمد:١٥٥٤ – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنِ الحَضْرَمِيِّ بْنِ لاحِقٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنِ الطِّيَرَةِ فَانْتَهَرَنِي وَقَالَ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ؟ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُحَدِّثَهُ مَنْ حَدَّثَنِي قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

«لَا عَدْوَى، وَلَا طِيَرَةَ، وَلَا هَامَ. إِنْ تَكُنِ الطِّيَرَةُ فِي شَيْءٍ، فَفِي الْفَرَسِ، وَالْمَرْأَةِ، وَالدَّارِ. وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِالطَّاعُونِ بِأَرْضٍ، فَلَا تَهْبِطُوا. وَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا، فَلَا تَفِرُّوا مِنْهُ»

"لا عَدْوَى وَلا طِيَرَةَ وَلا هَامَةَ، إِنْ تَكُنِ الطِّيَرةُ فِي شَيء فَهُوَ في المَرْأَةِ، وَالفَرَسِ، والدَّارِ، فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِالطَّاعُونِ بِأرْض فَلا تَهْبِطُوا عَلَيه، وَإنْ وَقَعَ وَأنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلا تَفِرُّوا مِنْهُ".
