And it was narrated to us by Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashshar, both saying: informed us Muhammad ibn Ja'far, narrated to us Shu'bah, who said: I heard Qatadah narrating from Anas ibn Malik, from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: "There is no contagion and no bad omen, but I like the good omen (al-fa'l)." He said: It was asked, "What is the good omen?" He said: "A good word."
