باب فِي الطِّيَرَةِ

English narration

Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: There is no infection, no evil, omen or serpent, in a hungry belly and no hamah. A nomadic Arab asked: How is it that when camels are in the sand as if they were gazelles and a mangy camel comes among them and it gives them mange ? He replied: Who infected the first one ? Mamar, quoting al-Zuhri said: A man told me that Abu Hurairah narrated to him saying that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: A diseased camel should not be brought with a healthy camel to drink water. He said: The man then consulted him and said: Did you not tell us that Prophet ﷺ had said: There is no infection, no serpent in a hungry belly and no hamah? He replied: I did not transmit it to you. Al-Zuhri said: Abu Salamah said: He had narrated it and I did not hear that Abu Hurairah had ever forgotten any tradition except this one.

لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا طِيَرَةَ وَلَا صَفَرَ وَلَا هَامَّةَ

" . فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ : مَا بَالُ الْإِبِلِ تَكُونُ فِي الرَّمْلِ كَأَنَّهَا الظِّبَاءُ ، فَيُخَالِطُهَا الْبَعِيرُ الْأَجْرَبُ ، فَيُجْرِبُهَا ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ أَعْدَى الْأَوَّلَ ، قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ : قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : فَحَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَا يُورِدَنَّ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ ، قَالَ : فَرَاجَعَهُ الرَّجُلُ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَيْسَ قَدْ حَدَّثَنَا عَنِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا صَفَرَ وَلَا هَامَةَ ؟ " قَالَ : لَمْ أُحَدِّثْكُمُوهُ ؟ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ : قَدْ حَدَّثَ بِهِ وَمَا سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ نَسِيَ حَدِيثًا قَطُّ غَيْرَهُ .
