Arabic hadith text
وَعَن سعدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا هَامَةَ وَلَا عَدْوَى وَلَا طِيَرَةَ وَإِنْ تَكُنِ الطِّيَرَةُ فِي شَيْءٍ فَفِي الدَّارِ وَالْفرس وَالْمَرْأَة» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Translation
Sa'd b. Malik reported God’s messenger as saying
"There is no hama, no infection and no evil omen; but if anything is affected by an evil omen it is a house, a horse, and a woman." Abu Dawud transmitted it.
