حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَنَابٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا عَدْوَى وَلَا طِيَرَةَ وَلَا هَامَةَ قَالَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ الْبَعِيرَ يَكُونُ بِهِ الْجَرَبُ فَتَجْرَبُ الْإِبِلُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ الْقَدَرُ فَمَنْ أَجْرَبَ الْأَوَّلَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4775
It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "There is no Contagion [1], no superstitious Relief in bird omens and no Hammah [2]” A man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah, what about a camel that has the mange, then the (other) camels get infected? He said: "That is the divine decree. Then who infected the first one?"
