Denial of Contagion and Superstition in the Hadith

Question:
He says: I read in a book of Islamic jurisprudence: "There is no contagion, no superstition, no harmful bird, and no bad month of Safar." What is the type of denial in the hadith? And we hope from you, Honorable Shaykh, that you clarify this hadith?

Answer:
This is a hadith found in the books of hadith, or in the books of Islamic jurisprudence; it is mentioned in the books of Islamic jurisprudence as a form of evidence. Yes. As for its transmission, it is in the books of hadith. It is a denial of contagion, superstition, the harmful bird, and the month of Safar, meaning that these things do not cause harm in themselves, nor do they transmit harm in themselves, as the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) used to say. Rather, its meaning is that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) transfers the contagion to others. This is attributed to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So His saying "There is no contagion, no..." and so on, is a denial of what the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) believed, namely that contagion occurs by itself, not by the will of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)? Yes.
