حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: لاَ عَدْوَى، وَلاَ طِيَرَةَ، وَيُعْجِبُنِي الْفَأْلُ الصَّالِحُ، الْكَلِمَةُ الْحَسَنَةُ.

Muslim related to us, saying: Hisham related to us, saying: Qatada related to us, from Anas, from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace: “There is no contagion, nor belief in omens; but a good fa’l—a good word—is pleasing to me.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
La ‘adwa is rendered literally as “there is no contagion”; the accompanying English witness supplies a separate interpretive footnote not present in the Arabic block.
لاَ عَدْوَى، وَلاَ طِيَرَةَ
This explanatory footnote is not part of the Arabic source text and gives an interpretive theological gloss.
Should the footnote be kept separate from the translated narration?
