Ayat 46. (He said): "O Yusuf (Joseph), the man of truth!
Explain to us (the dream) of seven fat cows whom seven lean ones were devouring,
and of seven green ears of corn, and (seven) others dry, that I may return to
the people, and tell them that what they may not
know."
Hazrat Urwah bin Amir (May Allah be
pleased with him) said: When talking of omens was mentioned in the presence of
the Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) he said, "The best type of omen is the
good omen.'' He added, "A Muslim should not refrain from anything because of an
omen.'' He [SAWW](PBUH) told them, "When any of you sees anything which he
dislikes, he should say: `Allahuma la ya'ti bil-hasanati illa Anta, wa la
yadfa`us-sayyi'ati illa Anta, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa Bika (O Allah ! You
Alone bring good things; You Alone avert evil things, and there is no might or
power but in You).'''
[Abu Dawud Hadith #
3919)
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Yusuf Ayat
46. "I may return to the people, and tell them that what they
may not know." 1. Tiyarah means
taking omen. This applies to good as well as bad omens. Muslims are required to
take good omen only. For this reason, when a Muslim resolves to do something
good then a bad omen should not impede his way because he believes that it is
Allah Alone who brings about every thing. He should also pray to Allah for the
removal of mischief. 2. When such things from which people
usually take a bad omen create suspicions in one's mind, then it is Mustahabb
(desirable) to recite the prayer mentioned in this Hadith. Thus, what we learn
from this Hadith is that if a Muslim comes across something repulsive, he should
pray to Allah for something auspicious. He should also pray to Allah for
granting him the power and ability to abstain from evils.
