Sahl b. Sa'd reported Allah's Messenger (๏ทบ) as saying: If bad luck were to be in anything, it is found in the woman, the horse and the abode.

Sahih Muslim 2226a https://sunnah.com/muslim:2226a

Note from the book "Authentication of Hadith, Redefining the Criteria" (Israr Ahmad Khan) p.70

"When this tradition was brought to the notice of 'A'โ€™ishah, she corrected the report stating that the Prophet had actually said: โ€œArabs of the period of ignorance and the Jews used to say that the woman, the house, and the animal were the source of bad luck.โ€ 'A'โ€™ishah even made the observation that the reporter of the tradition had not heard the first part of the Prophetic statement. (See Al-Zarkashi, Badr al-Dรn, Al- Ijabah, Sa'id al-Afghani, ed. (Beirut: Al-Maktab al-Islami, 1980), pp.103โ€“104.) Ibn Hajar finds the report narrating 'A'ishahโ€™s comment defective due to some defect in the chain of narrators. But when he finds himself facing some authentic reports narrating ยขยฎโ€™ishahโ€™s observation, he concludes that 'A'ishahโ€™s interpretation is too far-fetched in relation to so highly authentic a tradition as that recorded by al-Bukhยฅrร. While negating the approach of 'A'ishah, Ibn ยคajar says that the Prophet should not have made it (the idea of bad omen) as an information related to superstitious belief of the people of Arabia before Islam." See Ibn Hajar, Fath al-Bari: Sharh Sahih al-BukhharIฬˆ, vol.6, p.76.
