Sunan Abi Dawud 3916 (Book 30, Hadith 13) #24206
The Power of Positive Words

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that there is no infection or evil omen, and he liked a good omen which means a good word.

Narrated Anas: The Prophet as saying: There is no infection* and no evil omen, and I like a good omen. Good omen means a good word. * 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.
