Does the month of Safar have a special virtue like the month of Muharram, and why do some people consider it a bad omen?

Safar is the month that follows Muharram. Reasons for its naming include: either because Makkah would become empty of its people when they traveled during it, or because they would raid tribes in it and strip them of their belongings. The Arabs of the Pre-Islamic Era had two great abominations regarding it: tampering with the months and being superstitious about it. They tampered with it by making it a substitute for Muharram, and they believed that performing 'Umrah during the months of Hajj was among the most immoral acts. As for superstition, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) negated it by saying: "There is no 'Adwa (contagion), nor Tiyarah (evil omen), nor Hammah (owl omen), nor Safar (superstition of the month of Safar)." There is no legal basis for a supererogatory prayer performed on the last Wednesday of Safar to ward off calamities; it is a reprehensible innovation (bid'ah). Several important battles and events in the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him) occurred in Safar, including: the Battle of Al-Abwa', Bi'r Ma'unah, the Conquest of Khaybar, the expedition of Qutbah ibn 'Amir, and the delegation of 'Udhrah. All narrations that mention specific events that will occur in Safar are fabricated hadiths.
