Question:
He says: Explain to us, may you be rewarded, the hadith:Sunan Ibn Majah 3539.
Answer:
Yes, indeed. There is no 'adwa (contagion); the disease does not transfer by itself as the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) believed. Rather, it is Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, who transfers it if He wills. So it is in the hand of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He. And there is no tatiyyur (taking an omen as a bad sign). Tatiyyur is pessimism; it is pessimism and expecting evil. The Muslim is required to be optimistic; to be optimistic. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked good omens (fa'l), which is having a good opinion; it is part of having a good opinion of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
He says: Explain to us, may you be rewarded, the hadith:
