حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ

أَنَّ أَبَا بَشِيرٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ (قَالَ) فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَسُولاً قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَالنَّاسُ فِي مَبِيتِهِمْ «لَا يَبْقَيَنَّ فِي رَقَبَةِ بَعِيرٍ قِلَادَةٌ مِنْ وَتَرٍ أَوْ قِلَادَةٌ إِلاَّ قُطِعَتْ». قَالَ مَالِكٌ أُرَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْعَيْنِ

He had had (the opportunity of accompanying the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in some of his journeys. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sent one of his messengers Abdullah b Abi Bakr said: I think he said (these words) when the people were at the places of rest: No necklace of strings be left on the necks of the camels or the necklace kept unbroken.

Imam Malik said: To my mind (this practice) of wearing necklace round the necks of camels or animals was because of the fact that they (wanted to save them) from the influence of the evil eye.

উবায়দুল্লাহ ইবনু মু'আয আল আম্বারী ও ইয়াহইয়া ইবনু হাবীব (রহঃ) ..... আবূ মাসউদ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ চন্দ্রগ্রহণ ও সূর্যগ্রহণ অবশ্যই কোন মানুষের মৃত্যুর কারণে সংঘটিত হয় না। বরং এগুলো আল্লাহর দুটি নিদর্শন। অতএব তোমরা যখন তা (গ্রাস) দেখ তখন উঠে গিয়ে সালাত আদায় কর। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৯৮৪, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

معتمر نے اسماعیل سے ، انھوں نے قیس سے اور انھوں نے حضرت ابو مسعود رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " سورج اور چاند کو لوگوں میں سے کسی کے مرنے پر گرہن نہیں لگتا بلکہ وہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی نشانیوں میں سےدو نشانیاں ہیں ۔ لہذا جب تم اس ( گرہن ) کو دیکھو تو قیام کرو اور نماز پڑھو ۔

Bize Ubeydullah b. Muâz el-Anberi ile Yahya b. Habîb rivayet ettiler, Dedilerki: Bize Mu'temir, İsmail'den, o da Kays'dan, o da Ebû Mes'ûd'dan naklen rivayet ettiki: Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): «Şüphesiz ki güneşle ay insanlardan hiç bir kimsenin ölümü için tutulmazlar. Lâkin onlar Allah'ın âyetlerinden iki âyettirler. Binâenaleyh siz böyle bir şey gördünüzmü hemen kalkıp namaz kılın.» buyurmuşlar

What it means

As the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was on one of his journeys, and the people were in their sleeping places where they would pass the night in their dwellings and tents, he sent someone to the people ordering them to cut the necklaces hung around the camels' necks, be they made of strings - bowstrings - or any other material, like bells or sandals.

This is because they used to hang these necklaces for protection against the evil eye. Hence, they were ordered to cut them, as they are of no avail against the evil eye, and benefit and harm lie in the Hand of Allah alone, with no partner.

What it teaches

  • It is prohibited to hang strings and necklaces to bring about benefits or ward off evils, for this is an act of Shirk (polytheism).
  • There is nothing wrong with hanging a necklace without a string, as adornment, or for the purpose of riding an animal or tying it.
  • It is obligatory to show disapproval of wrong things, according to one's ability.
  • A person's heart should be attached to Allah alone, with no partner.
