1993. It was narrated from Hakim bin Mu'awiyah that his paternal uncle Mikhmar bin Mu'awiyah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: 'Do not believe in omens, and good fortune is only to be found in three things: A woman, a horse and a house.'" (Hasan)
1993 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ مِخْمَرِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: " لَا شُؤْمَ، وَقَدْ يَكُونُ الْيُمْنُ فِي ثَلَاثَةٍ: فِي الْمَرْأَةِ، وَالْفَرَسِ، وَالدَّارِ "

'Omens and good fortune' is the trouble or harmony caused by something or by a person. For example: a woman, if she is of good conduct, obedient and well-mannered, then it is a mercy and blessing; but if she is abusive, disobedient and ill-mannered, then it is ominousness. Similarly if the horse (ride) is healthy, fast and obedient to the master, then it is a blessing but if it is stubborn and ungovernable, it will be a problem. A big and wide house and a good neighbor are a blessing.
