Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner also says: Tatayyur (taking an omen as a bad sign) is pessimism based on what is seen, heard, or known. What does “or known” mean?
The Shaykh:
And known.
The questioner:
I think, yes.
The Shaykh:
I do not know this; I do not know, yes. If he sees something that makes him pessimistic, if he sees a one-eyed person, he becomes pessimistic. If he sees something with a defect, meaning a person with a defect, he becomes pessimistic about it. This is what is seen. Or what is heard: he hears a word, he hears a word that does not please him or that he dislikes, so he becomes pessimistic about it. As for what is known, I do not know. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
