Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْأَشْيَبُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَيَّاشُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ شِيَيْمِ بْنِ بَيْتَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رُوَيْفِعُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ كَانَ أَحَدُنَا فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْخُذُ جَمَلَ أَخِيهِ عَلَى أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ النِّصْفَ مِمَّا يَغْنَمُ وَلَهُ النِّصْفُ حَتَّى أَنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَطِيرُ لَهُ النَّصْلُ وَالرِّيشُ وَالْآخَرَ الْقِدْحُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا رُوَيْفِعُ لَعَلَّ الْحَيَاةَ سَتَطُولُ بِكَ فَأَخْبِرْ النَّاسَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ عَقَدَ لِحْيَتَهُ أَوْ تَقَلَّدَ وَتَرًا أَوْ اسْتَنْجَى بِرَجِيعِ دَابَّةٍ أَوْ عَظْمٍ فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْهُ بَرِيءٌ.
English Translation
Hasan ibn Musa al-Ashyab told us, saying: Ibn Lahi'ah informed us, saying: Ayyash ibn Abbas told us, from Shuyaym ibn Baytan, who said: Ruwayfi' ibn Thabit told us, saying: "One of us in the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would take his brother's camel on (the condition) that he give him half of what he gained (in spoils), and he would have the other half, such that one of us would end up flying off with the head and feathers and the other with the arrow-shaft." Then he said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me: 'O Ruwayfi', perhaps life will be prolonged for you, so inform the people that whoever ties a knot in his beard, or hangs a bowstring, or cleans himself with the dung or bone of an animal — Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, disowns him.'"
