Sunan Ibn Majah 3540 (Book 31, Hadith 105) #32894
The Rejection of Superstition and Omen

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that there is no such thing as superstition, omen, or bad luck. Everything happens by the will of Allah.

Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'There is no 'Adwa, no omen, and no Hamah.’ A man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what if a camel has mange and another camel gets mange from it?’ He said: 'That is the Divine decree. Who causes the mange in the first one?’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ أَبِي جَنَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ لاَ عَدْوَى وَلاَ طِيَرَةَ وَلاَ هَامَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْبَعِيرُ يَكُونُ بِهِ الْجَرَبُ فَتَجْرَبُ بِهِ الإِبِلُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ ذَلِكَ الْقَدَرُ فَمَنْ أَجْرَبَ الأَوَّلَ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaches us that there is no such thing as superstitious beliefs like ‘Adwa’ or omen. He explains that everything happens by the will of Allah and it is His divine decree which decides what happens in our lives. This means that we should not be afraid when something bad happens to us because it was already decided by Allah before it happened. We should also not believe in superstitions like if a black cat crosses our path then something bad will happen to us because these are all false beliefs and have nothing to do with reality. Instead, we should trust in Allah's plan for us and accept whatever comes our way with patience and faith in Him.
