become a sign of luck or misfortune. Within many aḥādīth, the

Messenger of Allāh  has repeatedly confirmed: “There is no

ṭiyarah!” There are also similar confirmations of this quoted from a
number of Ṣaḥābat .

“Seventy thousand people will enter Jannah without punishment.
They are those people who do not seek cures by means of branding,
nor ask for ruqyah, nor by means of taṭayyur and who only put their
508
trust in their Lord alone”.

enunciation by Al Bukhārī nos. 5705, 5752, and Muslim no. 220 from Ibnu fiAbbās .
