3911. It was narrated from Ma'mar, from Az-Zuhri, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurairah who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'There is no Adwā,'[3] no Tiyarah, no Šafar[1] and no Hāmah.[2] A Bedouin said: 'What about camels that are running about in the sand like deer, then a mangy camel comes to them and they all get infected?' He said: 'Who infected the first one?'" Ma'mar (one of the narrators) said: "Az-Zuhri said: 'A man narrated to me from Abū Hurairah, that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: "A sick one should not be brought near healthy ones." He said: 'The man questioned him and said: "Did you not narrate to us that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'There is no Adwā, no Šafar and no Hāmah?"' He said: "I did not narrate that to you." Az-Zuhri said: 'Abū Salamah said: "He did narrate it, and I did not hear that Abū Hurairah forgot any Hadīth except this one." (Šahīh)

3911 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا عَدْوَى، وَلَا طِيَرَةَ، وَلَا صَفَرَ، وَلَا هَامَّةَ» فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ: مَا بَالُ الْإِبِلِ تَكُونُ فِي الرَّمْلِ كَأَنَّهَا الظِّبَاءُ فَيُخَالِطُهَا الْبَعِيرُ الْأَجْرَبُ فَيُجْرِبُهَا؟ قَالَ: «فَمَنْ أَعْدَى الْأَوَّلَ» قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ: قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: فَحَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا يُورِدَنَّ مُمْرِضٌ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ» قَالَ: فَرَاجَعَهُ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ: أَلَيْسَ قَدْ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا عَدْوَى، وَلَا صَفَرَ، وَلَا هَامَةَ؟» قَالَ: لَمْ أُحَدِّثْكُمُوهُ، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ: «قَدْ حَدَّثَ بِهِ وَمَا سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ نَسِيَ حَدِيثًا قَطُّ غَيْرَهُ»

  1. 1

    [1] Regarding the meaning of: "If a person's Khatt is the same as his" An-Nawawī said: "If anyone's Khatt is found to be in accordance with that form of Khatt; and the form of it is not known, so it is dependant upon what is not possible. It is as if it is a clear prohibition."

  2. 2

    [2] Bad omens, or omens taken from the behaviour of birds.

  3. 3

    [3] Meaning, transmission of infectious disease without the permission of Allāh.
