Hadith 432
307- وبه: عن عباد بن تميم أن أبا بشير الأنصاري أخبره أنه كان مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فى بعض أسفاره، قال: فأرسل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رسولا، قال عبد الله بن أبى بكر: حسبت أنه قال والناس فى مبيتهم: ”لا تبقين فى رقبة بعير قلادة من وتر أو قلادة إلا قطعت.“ قال مالك: أرى ذلك من العين.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bashir Al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a messenger (one who made an announcement). Abdullah bin Abi Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him, the narrator of the hadith) says: I think that people were in their sleeping places when he announced: Beware! Do not leave any camel’s neck with a string collar or any other collar without cutting it off. Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I think they had put these collars (amulets) for protection from the evil eye.
