103 This supplication is used whenever one initially thinks a casual event or
occurrence to foretell good or evil, using it as a basis to determine which
action he should undertake, but he then denounces such a link, relies on
Alla>h and then says this supplication as an expiation for this act, since it
falls under the category of shirk.
