Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " لاَ طِيَرَةَ، وَخَيْرُهَا الْفَأْلُ ". قَالُوا وَمَا الْفَأْلُ قَالَ " الْكَلِمَةُ الصَّالِحَةُ يَسْمَعُهَا أَحَدُكُمْ ".
Translation
Abū al-Yamān narrated to us: Shuʿayb informed us, from al-Zuhrī, who said: ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUtbah informed me that Abū Hurayrah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “There are no omens, and the best kind is a good word.” They said, “What is a good word?” He said, “A good word that one of you hears.”
