ahmad:16996Ḥasan b. Mūsá al-Ashyab > Ibn Lahīʿah > ʿAyyāsh b. ʿAbbās > Shīwaym b. Baytān > Rūwayfiʿ b. Thābit

Shayban al-Qatbani reported that Maslamah ibn Mukhallad made Ruwayfi' ibn Thabit the governor of the lower parts (of Egypt). He added: We travelled with him from Kum Sharik to Alqamah or from Alqamah to Kum Sharik (the narrator doubts) for Alqam. Ruwayfi' said: Any one of us would borrow a camel during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ from the other, on condition that he would give him half the booty, and the other half he would retain himself. Further, one of us received an arrowhead and a feather, and the other an arrow-shaft as a share from the booty. He then reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You may live for a long time after I am gone, Ruwayfi', so, tell people that if anyone ties his beard or wears round his neck a string to ward off the evil eye, or cleanses himself with animal dung or bone, Muhammad has nothing to do with him.

[Machine] Ruwaifibnu Thabit said, "During the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , we used to raid [enemies]. One of us would take the other's camel, with the understanding that he would get half of the spoils. Sometimes, one of us would get the vessel [for drinking water], while the other would get the sword and feathers [of the enemy]." Ruwaifibnu Thabit continued, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'O Ruwaifib, it is possible that you will live a long life, so inform the people that whoever trims his beard or imitates the non-Muslims, or performs istinja (cleansing after using the bathroom) with animal bones or bones, has disassociated himself from what Allah has revealed to Muhammad ﷺ .'"
