Abu
Hurayrah reported that the Prophet
said, “No ‘adwaa [transmission of infectious disease
without the permission of Allah], no tiyarah
[superstitious belief in bird omens], no haamah [refers
to a Jaahili Arab tradition described variously as: a
worm that infests the grave of a murder victim until he
is avenged; an owl; or the bones of a dead person turned
into a bird that could fly], and no Safar [the
month of Safar was regarded as “unlucky” in the
Jaahiliyyah].” [Translator’s notes in square brackets].
(Reported by al-Bukhari, 5757, and Muslim, 2220) |

Misconceptions |
|
|
|
|
|
This time of the
year was considered to be cursed as many
catastrophes and calamities took place. However
this belief has been proven to be false
and totally without foundation and is further
confirmed by the following hadith as reported by
Jaabir
:
"I have heard the Prophet
saying, the descending of illness and evil
superstition befalling in the month of Safar is
untrue."(Muslim) |
|
|
Performing a
sacrifice on the 6th day of this month is an
innovation. |

Imaam Ibn Rajab (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
“Regarding Safar as inauspicious is a kind of
superstition that is forbidden. Also forbidden is
regarding particular days, such as Wednesdays, as
inauspicious, or following the Jaahili custom of
regarding Shawwaal as inauspicious for weddings.”
