حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لاَ عَدْوَى وَلاَ طِيَرَةَ وَلاَ هَامَةَ وَلاَ صَفَرَ " .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us: Abū al-Aḥwaṣ narrated to us, from Simāk, from ʿIkrimah, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: The Messenger of Allah said: ‘There is no contagion, no omen-taking, no hāmah, and no Ṣafar.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
العدوى is rendered ‘contagion’; الطيرة as omen-taking. هامة (hāmah) and صفر (Ṣafar) are retained in transliteration because the report does not define their intended superstitions or references.
قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لاَ عَدْوَى وَلاَ طِيَرَةَ وَلاَ هَامَةَ وَلاَ صَفَرَ " .
هَامَةٌ and صَفَرٌ are terse named beliefs/terms whose intended scope is not explained in this report; the English witness also leaves them untranslated.
Should hāmah and Ṣafar remain transliterated, or be glossed as specific pre-Islamic beliefs?
