Hadith on Amulets: The Prophet prohibits charms and filth

Ruwayfah ibn Thabit reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “O Ruwayfah, perhaps you will live for a long time after me. Tell the people that whoever ties knots in his beard, or hangs a string around his neck, or cleans himself with dung or bones, then Muhammad has disavowed him.”

عَنْ رُوَيْفِعِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَا رُوَيْفِعُ لَعَلَّ الْحَيَاةَ سَتَطُولُ بِكَ بَعْدِي فَأَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ عَقَدَ لِحْيَتَهُ أَوْ تَقَلَّدَ وَتَرًا أَوْ اسْتَنْجَى بِرَجِيعِ دَابَّةٍ أَوْ عَظْمٍ فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْهُ بَرِيءٌ
