Hadith text: Whoever is prevented from doing something because of hi…

عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص - رضي الله عنه- مرفوعاً: "مَن ردته الطِّيَرَة عن حاجته فقد أشرك، قالوا: فما كفارة ذلك؟ قال: أن تقول: اللهم لا خير إلا خيرك، ولا طَيْرَ إِلَّا طَيْرُكَ ولا إله غيرك".

Explanation of the hadith: Whoever is prevented from doing something because of hi…

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) informs us that whoever refrains from doing anything that he had intended to do out of belief in bad omens, has in some sense committed polytheism. When the Companions asked him about the expiation of this major sin, he instructed them to say those noble words mentioned in the Hadīth. This homily indicates entrusting all affairs to Allah and negating omnipotence from anyone other than Him.
