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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 36)

كَانَ أَحَدُنَا فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْخُذُ جَمَلَ أَخِيهِ عَلَى أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ النِّصْفَ مِمَّا يَغْنَمُ وَلَهُ النِّصْفُ حَتَّى أَنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَطِيرُ لَهُ النَّصْلُ وَالرِّيشُ وَالْآخَرَ الْقِدْحُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا رُوَيْفِعُ لَعَلَّ الْحَيَاةَ سَتَطُولُ بِكَ فَأَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ عَقَدَ لِحْيَتَهُ أَوْ تَقَلَّدَ وَتَرًا أَوْ اسْتَنْجَى بِرَجِيعِ دَابَّةٍ أَوْ عَظْمٍ فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ مِنْهُ بَرِيءٌ

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'O Ruwaifi', you may live for a long time after me, so tell the people that whoever ties up his beard, or twists it, or hangs an amulet, or cleans himself (after relieving himself) with animal dung or bones, Muhammad has nothing to do with him.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5067)

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا رُوَيْفِعُ لَعَلَّ الْحَيَاةَ سَتَطُولُ بِكَ بَعْدِي فَأَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ عَقَدَ لِحْيَتَهُ أَوْ تَقَلَّدَ وَتَرًا أَوْ اسْتَنْجَى بِرَجِيعِ دَابَّةٍ أَوْ بِعَظْمٍ فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ بَرِيءٌ مِنْهُ
