Commentary
'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.
