The Shaykh : And this is Jabir ibn Sulayman asking: What is the authenticity of the hadith of 'Urwah ibn 'Amr? He said: And what is the meaning of "The best of it is a good omen"?
This hadith is hasan or good. The meaning of a good omen is that a person takes a good omen, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) liked a good omen. That is, he did not take an omen as a bad sign from things. If he saw good, he would take a good omen that what pleased him in that matter would be completed for him.
Taking an omen as a bad sign was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "The best of it is a good omen, and it does not turn back a Muslim. If one of you sees something he dislikes, let him say: O Allah, none brings forth good deeds except You, and none averts evil deeds except You, and there is no power and no strength except by You."

The meaning of a good omen is that a person takes a good omen, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) liked a good omen. That is, he did not take an omen as a bad sign from things.
