Summary

The hadith about three constant ailments among the Prophet's community, namely superstitious omens, envy and ill assumption, is not authentic. The chain in al-Tabarani's narration is judged very weak because of the narrator Ismail bin Qais, whom al-Bukhari and al-Daraqutni criticised as munkar al-hadith. A supporting chain through Yahya bin al-Sakan in al-Baihaqi's Shuab al-Iman is also weak, as Abu Hatim al-Razi considered Yahya weak.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Justeru sanad bagi hadis ini dihukumkan sebagai daif jiddan kerana terdapat perawi yang dinilai munkar al-hadith.
