أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن عبد الله ابن ميمون، عن عبد الله عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: الشؤم في ثلاثة أشياء: في الدابة، والمرأة، والدار. فأما المرأة فشؤمها غلاء مهرها وعسر ولادتها، وأما الدابة فشؤمها كثرة عللها وسوء خلقها، وأما الدار فشؤمها ضيقها وخبث جيرانها. وقال: من بركة المرأة خفة مؤونتها ويسر ولادتها، وشؤمها شدة مؤونتها وتعسر ولادتها.
2.	My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Ali bin Ibrahim bin Hashim, from his father, from Abdullah ibn Maimoun, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Ill-omen is in three things: in a riding animal, a woman and a home. As for a woman, her ill-omen is the expensiveness of her dowry and difficulty of her labour. As for a riding animal, its ill-omen is its amount of defects and ill manners. As for a home, its ill-omen is its tightness and wickedness of its neighbors. He also said: From the blessings of a woman is the lightness of her supplies and easiness of her labour, and her ill-omen is the heaviness of her supplies and difficulty of her labour.
