Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي حَيَّةَ أَبُو جَنَابٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ لاَ عَدْوَى وَلاَ طِيَرَةَ وَلاَ هَامَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ الْبَعِيرَ يَكُونُ بِهِ الْجَرَبُ فَيُجْرِبُ الإِبِلَ كُلَّهَا قَالَ ‏"‏ ذَلِكُمُ الْقَدَرُ فَمَنْ أَجْرَبَ الأَوَّلَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and 'Ali ibn Muhammad narrated to us; they said: Waki' narrated to us; Yahya ibn Abi Hayyah, Abu Janab al-Kalbi, narrated to us, from his father, from Ibn 'Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no contagion, no ill omen, and no Hamah. A Bedouin man stood and said: Messenger of Allah, what do you think of a camel with mange that then gives mange to all the camels? He said: That is divine decree; so who gave the first one mange?

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic gives the terms contagion, ill omen, and Hamah without explanation. The witness adds an extended scholarly note interpreting them; that note is not part of this source text.
