"its isnād is authentic," and al-Dhahabī agreed with him. And it is as they said, rather it meets the criteria of Muslim, for Abū Ḥassān, as al-Zarkashī said in "al-Ijābah" (p. 128): "His name is Muslim al-Ajrad, and he narrates from Ibn ʿAbbās and ʿĀʾishah." I say: He is trustworthy and among the narrators of Muslim. Ibn Khuzaymah also narrated it as mentioned in "al-Fatḥ" (6/46). It is supported by what al-Ṭayālisī narrated in "his Musnad" (1537): Muḥammad ibn Rāshid narrated to us from Makhūl. It was said to ʿĀʾishah: Abū Hurayrah says: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: Bad omen is in three things: in the house, the woman, and the horse. ʿĀʾishah said: Abū Hurayrah did not remember correctly because he entered while the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was saying: May Allāh fight the Jews; they say that bad omen is in the house, the woman, and the horse, so he heard the end of the ḥadīth and did not hear its beginning." Its isnād is good except for the disconnection between Makhūl and ʿĀʾishah, but it is acceptable in follow-ups and supporting evidence, if the missing person between them is a third person other than the previously mentioned ʿĀmirīs. This, and perhaps the mistake that Lady ʿĀʾishah denied was from the narrator from Abū Hurayrah, and not Abū Hurayrah himself, for Aḥmad narrated (2/289) through Abū Maʿshar from Muḥammad ibn Qays who said: "Abū Hurayrah was asked: Did you hear from the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): Bad omen is in three: in the dwelling, the horse, and the woman? He said: I would then be saying about the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) what he did not say, but I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say: The best of omens is optimism, and the evil eye is true." And Abū Maʿshar is weak
