Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْبَدُ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَكَثْرَةَ الْحَلِفِ فِي الْبَيْعِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَفِّقُ ثُمَّ يَمْحَقُ.

Yahya narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There is no contagion and no bad omen, and I like the good omen." They said: 'What is the good omen?' He said: "A good word."
