Sunan Abi Dawud 3921 (Book 30, Hadith 18) #24211
Bad Luck Does Not Exist

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that there is no such thing as bad luck, and the only things that can bring bad luck are a house, a horse, and a woman.

Narrated Sa'd ibn Malik: The Prophet said: There is no hamah, no infection and no evil omen; if there is in anything an evil omen, it is a house, a horse, and a woman.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، أَنَّ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ بْنَ لاَحِقٍ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لاَ هَامَةَ وَلاَ عَدْوَى وَلاَ طِيَرَةَ وَإِنْ تَكُنِ الطِّيَرَةُ فِي شَىْءٍ فَفِي الْفَرَسِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ وَالدَّارِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Make wise decisions based on your own judgement rather than relying on superstitions/omens/curses from others

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad taught his followers that there is no such thing as bad luck or superstition. He said that the only things in life which could bring about misfortune are buying a house, buying a horse, or marrying a woman. This hadith teaches us to be careful when making decisions in life and to not rely on superstitions or omens for guidance. We should instead use our own judgement and wisdom when making decisions.

The Prophet also warned against believing in false ideas like hamah which is an Arabic term for bad luck or misfortune caused by supernatural forces. He also warned against believing in infection which means being affected by something negative without any physical contact with it; this could include believing in curses from others or thinking one's fate has been predetermined by some outside force. Lastly he warned against believing in evil omens which are signs of impending disaster like seeing an animal cross one's path before embarking on an important journey.

This hadith reminds us to be mindful of our actions and decisions because they will have consequences regardless of whether we believe in superstitions or not; we should always strive to make wise choices based on our own judgement rather than relying on false beliefs about good fortune coming from outside sources like omens or curses from others.
