Hudayfah on Shirk: Wearing good luck charms is lesser idolatry

Ghazrah reported: Hudhayfah, may Allah be pleased with him, entered the home of a sick man and he saw him wearing a luck charm on his arm. Hudhayfah cut it off or removed it, then he recited the verse, “Most of them do not believe in Allah but that they associate with Him.” (12:106)

عَنْ عَزْرَةَ قَالَ دَخَلَ حُذَيْفَةُ رضي الله عنه عَلَى مَرِيضٍ فَرَأَى فِي عَضُدِهِ سَيْرًا فَقَطَعَهُ أَوِ انْتَزَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ إِلَّا وَهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ
