'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Paying attention to the bad omen (tayyara)
is association (shirk). It has nothing to do with us. Allah will
remove it by reliance on Him."
حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا رَأَى مَخِيلَةً دَخَلَ وَخَرَجَ، وَأَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ، وَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ، فَإِذَا مَطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ سُرِّيَ، فَعَرَّفَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: وَمَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ}.
Narrated 'A'isha said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, saw a cloud in the sky, he would get up and down and walk to
and fro, and his face would change colour. When it rained, that would leave
him." When A'isha commented on that, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace:
'When they saw it as a storm cloud advancing on their valleys...'
(46:24)"
Abu Hurayra heard the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, say, "Bad omens. The best of that is the good omen. They asked,
"What is the good omen?" "A good word which one of you hears," he replied.
Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, led us in the Subh prayer at Hudaybiyya
after it had rained on us during the night. When he finished, he faced
the people and said, 'Do you know what your Lord has said?' They replied,
'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'This morning My slaves have
become divided up into believers and unbelievers. Those who said, "We had
rain by the favour and mercy of Allah," believe in Me and reject the stars.
Those who said that it was because of a certain star, disbelieve in Me
and believe in the stars."'"
