Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is confusing to me is what is reported in the hadith that
Bad omens are in three things, along with what is reported regardingالشؤم في ثلاثة مع ما ورد من
the prohibition of bad omens

Answer:
Yes, there is a difference between them. "Bad omens are in three things" refers to things that were created with evil in them; they were created evil. A person avoids evil things. As for taking bad omens, this is a belief in the soul; it is a belief of the person and of Satan. So he should avoid this. Instead of taking bad omens, he should take good omens. A good omen is a good opinion of Allah the Exalted. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to take good omens because a good omen is a good opinion of Allah the Exalted. As for taking bad omens, it is a bad opinion of Allah the Exalted. He should avoid taking bad omens and commit to taking good omens. Yes.
