Defining Tatayyur (Taking an Omen as a Bad Sign) and Pessimism, and How to Protect Oneself from Them

The questioner:
One of the brothers says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. What is the definition of tatayyur (taking an omen as a bad sign) and pessimism?

The Shaykh:
I heard it in lectures: what is the best person? Or rather, he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to like the good omen (fal) and disliked the bad omen (tatiyyah), may Allah pray upon him and grant him peace, and he forbade it, may Allah pray upon him and grant him peace. He said that if something comes to a person's heart, he says: "O Allah, You are the One, and there is no good except Your good, and there is no good except from You, and there is no god but You." This nullifies the practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. For example, if he sees something while traveling, like a donkey that he does not like, or a donkey that he does not like, or a person that he does not like, he does not let it affect him. Let him say: "O Allah, no one increases in good deeds except You, and no one averts evil deeds except You, and there is no power and no strength except by Allah." And he does not be satisfied with his need being frustrated.
In the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah), if a person went out and was happy, it was a crow cawing, or he saw a donkey he did not like, black or with its tail cut off, or something like that. He would become pessimistic and say, “The journey is not good, it is not valid,” or something similar. This is wrong. It was not mentioned in the hadith that if a car turns back from his need, he has committed shirk (associating partners with Allah).

The presenter:
There is no power.

The Shaykh:
His heart and none of us is exempt, but Allah guides him through reliance on Allah. The necessity of shirk (associating partners with Allah), the necessity of shirk (associating partners with Allah), and none of us is exempt, but Allah guides him through reliance. Ibn Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said.
The point is that taking an omen (tatiyyah) is known to be a practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). A person may be affected by it even if he is a Muslim, but it is treated. If something of this kind comes to his heart, he should not care about it. He should strive against his soul so that he does not do the deeds of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). And he should say at that time: , and look at his path. Thus, the pessimism that comes to his heart from a bird or an animal should be met with strong faith, trust in Allah, praise of Allah, and seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. And he should say: “O Allah, no one brings good deeds except You, no one averts evil deeds except You, and there is no power and no strength except by Allah.” Yes.
