📖 1 min readعن بُريدة رضي الله عنه : أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان لا يَتَطَيَّر.
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) never took anything as a bad omen. Islam has prohibited pessimism, the kind that prevents one from doing what he intended to do as practiced in the pre-Islamic era, taking evil omens, and divination by arrows. It offered the substitute represented in the Istikhārah prayer.
