Sunan Ibn Majah 86 (Book) #36988
The Power of Divine Decree

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that there is no such thing as contagion, evil omen or superstition, and that any harm caused is due to the will of Allah.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'There is no 'Adwa (contagion), no Tiyarah (evil omen) and no Hamah'. A Bedouin man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about a camel that suffers from mange and then all other camels get mange?' He said: 'That is because of the Divine Decree. How else did the first one get mange?'" 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 أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي حَيَّةَ أَبُو جَنَابٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ لاَ عَدْوَى وَلاَ طِيَرَةَ وَلاَ هَامَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ الْبَعِيرَ يَكُونُ بِهِ الْجَرَبُ فَيُجْرِبُ الإِبِلَ كُلَّهَا قَالَ ‏"‏ ذَلِكُمُ الْقَدَرُ فَمَنْ أَجْرَبَ الأَوَّلَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the power of divine decree and how it affects our lives. It was narrated by Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet Muhammad said there is no such thing as contagion, evil omen or superstition, and any harm caused is due to the will of Allah. He used an example of a camel suffering from mange and then all other camels getting mange to explain this concept further. This hadith teaches us that we should not be afraid of these things because they do not cause harm through supernatural or hidden means; rather, it is Allah who has control over everything in our lives. We should trust in His plan for us and have faith in Him even when things don't go according to our expectations.
