What is the meaning of the hadith: "Misfortune is in the house, the woman, and the horse"?

The questioner : The hadith of Ibn 'Umar in the two Sahihs, in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is the jurisprudential understanding of this hadith?

The Shaykh : This hadith came in two wordings. One of them is "misfortune," and it came in a wording with this meaning: But the correct wording is: If misfortune were in anything, it would be in these three types. If "misfortune" were what should be relied upon in narrating this hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), then the other wordings, even though they are weaker in narration, contradict the explicit texts that say there is no misfortune in Islam and no taking omens in Islam. The Messenger (peace be upon him) forbade taking omens, so how could he approve it and affirm its existence in the house, the woman, and the horse? No, from the perspective of narration, this is anomalous, and the preserved, authentic narration is: This is the answer to this question. Please proceed.
