Sahih Muslim 2222a (Book 39, Hadith 147) #12885
The Power of Allah Over Superstition

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the power of Allah and how superstitious beliefs such as transitive diseases, ill omens, and ghouls do not have any power to cause harm.

Jabir reported Allal's Messenger as saying: There is no transitive disease, no ill omen, no ghoul. Note: The majority of scholars interpret this to mean that these things in and of themselves do not transmit or cause harm through supernatural or hidden means but that Allah is ultimately in control and any fearful superstition around these is false.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ عَدْوَى وَلاَ طِيَرَةَ وَلاَ غُولَ
