Hadith #143
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا صَاحِبٌ لَنَا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا يُعْدِي شَيْء
ٌ شَيْئًا فَقَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ النُّقْبَةُ مِنْ الْجَرَبِ تَكُونُ بِمِشْفَرِ الْبَعِيرِ أَوْ بِذَنَبِهِ فِي الْإِبِلِ الْعَظِيمَةِ فَتَجْرَبُ كُلُّهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَا أَجْرَبَ الْأَوَّلَ لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا هَامَةَ وَلَا صَفَرَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ فَكَتَبَ حَيَاتَهَا وَمُصِيبَاتِهَا وَرِزْقَهَا

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Rahman, from Sufyan, from 'Umara ibn al-Qa'qa', from Abu Zur'a, from a companion of ours — that he said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us and said: Nothing infects anything [by its own nature]. A Bedouin man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah, what about [when] a single mange spot appears on the lip or tail of a camel in a large herd, and then all of them become mangy? the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Who then infected the first one? There is no contagion [per se], no ill omen from [the cry of] an owl [hama], and no [superstition in the month of] Safar. Allah created every soul, and He wrote for it its lifespan, its calamities, and its provision.'
