a part of the polytheistic character, and God tells us it is really those

people who have ill fortune:

... No indeed! Their ill fortune will be with God. But most of
them did not know. (Qur'an, 7:131)
Some of the clearest examples of the changes in meaning set out

in detail in the preceding sections appear in these hadiths.

While it has been regarded as sufficient to transmit the sense of
the hadith, failure to hear the beginning and end of the hadith has
also sometimes led to a loss of meaning. For example, two people
came to Aisha (ra) and said to her that Abu Hurayrah narrates that

the Prophet (pbuh) used to say that ill fortune is to be found only in
women, horses and houses. At this Aisha (ra) replied: "By God Who
revealed the Qur'an to the Prophet! The Prophet never said this; what he

did say was that the People of the Ignorance hold this opinion."

Another accurate Bukhari hadith narrated by 'Aisha (ra) on the
subject is as follows:

The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before
me. They said, "prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and
a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people)." I

said, "You have made us (i.e. women) dogs. I saw the Prop-
het praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and
the Qibla."

Our Beloved Prophet (pbuh) used to pray when Aisha (ra) was

in front of him. We can thus understand that the superstition in
question is a grave slander against the Prophet (pbuh), one that
Aisha (ra) totally refuted after his demise.
