Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لاَ طِيَرَةَ، وَخَيْرُهَا الْفَأْلُ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَمَا الْفَأْلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ الْكَلِمَةُ الصَّالِحَةُ يَسْمَعُهَا أَحَدُكُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad narrated to us: Hishām informed us: Maʿmar informed us, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet ﷺ said, “There are no omens, and the best kind is a good word.” He was asked, “What is a good word, Messenger of Allah?” He said, “A good word that one of you hears.”
