كتاب الأدب عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

Saalim and Hamzah, the sons of Abdullah bin Umar (رضي الله تعالى عنه) narrated from their father that the Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said, ‘an omen is in three, a woman, a dwelling, and a (riding) beast.’ Imam Tirmidhi said this Hadith is Hasan Sahih. Some of Az-Zuhri's companions did not mention ‘from Hamzah’ in it, they only said, ‘from Saalim, from his father from the Prophet (a). Imam Malik bin Anas reported this Hadith from Az-Zuhri and he said, ‘from Saalim and Hamzah the sons of Abdullah bin Umar (رضي الله تعالى عنه) from their father. This is how Ibn Abu Umar reported this Hadith for us (and he mentioned the chain again). There is another chain of this Hadith from Saalim, from his father from the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) but Sa'id bin Abdur Rahman did not mention ‘from Hamzah’ in it and Sa’id's narration is more correct because 'Ali bin Al-Madini and Al-Humaidi reported it from Sufyan, from Az-Zuhri, from Saalim and they mentioned that Sufyan said, ‘Az-Zuhri did not report this Hadith to us except from Saalim from Ibn Umar (رضي الله تعالى عنه). Imam Malik bin Anas reported this Hadith from Az-Zuhri and he said, ‘from Saalim and Hamzah, the sons of Abdullah bin Umar (رضي الله تعالى عنه), from their father.’ There are narrations on this topic from Sahl bin Sa'd, Ummul Momineen Aisha (رضي الله تعالى عنها), and Anas (رضي الله تعالى عنه). It has been related that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said, ‘if there was an omen in anything it would be in a woman, a (riding) beast, and a dwelling.’ And it has been reported from Hakim bin Mu'awiyah who said, ‘I heard the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) saying, 'there are no omens, but there is a sense of security in a home, a woman, and a horse.’ There is one more chain for this narration.
