Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever hangs an amulet, may Allah not fulfil (his purpose) for him; and whoever hangs a "wada'ah" (a seashell, a kind of amulet), may Allah not (fulfil his purpose)."
Imam Ahmad, Imam Abu Ya'la and Imam al-Tabarani recorded it, and their narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
