Chapter 30 · Divination and Omens (Kitab Al-Kahanah Wa Al-Tatayyur)حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ، وَسَالِمٍ ابْنَيْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: الشُّؤْمُ فِي الدَّارِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ وَالْفَرَسِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: قُرِئَ عَلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ، أَخْبَرَكَ ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ مَالِكٌ عَنِ الشُّؤْمِ فِي الْفَرَسِ وَالدَّارِ، قَالَ: كَمْ مِنْ دَارٍ سَكَنَهَا نَاسٌ، فَهَلَكُوا ثُمَّ سَكَنَهَا آخَرُونَ، فَهَلَكُوا ؟ فَهَذَا تَفْسِيرُهُ فِيمَا نَرَى وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: حَصِيرٌ فِي الْبَيْتِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ لَا تَلِدُ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: An omen is in a dwelling, a woman or a horse. Abu Dawud said: This tradition was read out to al-Harith bin Miskin and I was witness. It was said to him that Ibn Qasim told him that Malik was asked about evil omen in a horse and in a house. He replied: There are many houses in which people lived and perished and again others lived therein and they also perished. This is its explanation so far as we know. Allah knows best. Abu Dawud said: Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) said: A mat in a house better than a woman who does not give birth to a child.
