Question:
This person is asking, Shaykh, about the meaning of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
No 'Adwa nor Tiyara; but I like Fal." They said, "What is the Fal?" He saidلا عدوى ولا طيرة ويعجبني الفأل. قالوا وما الفأل؟ قال
Sahih al-Bukhari 5776
a good word.

Answer:
Yes, tatiyyah is pessimism and a bad opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and it is the belief in a created thing that it can harm or benefit. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah). For this reason, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Tatiyyah (superstition) is shirk (associating partners with Allah)الطيرة شرك
and it is what hastens you or delays you. It is obligatory for the Muslim to rely upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and to avoid superstition. As for fal, it is a good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked fal. Yes.
