حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاَقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ شِيَيْمِ بْنِ بَيْتَانَ، قَالَ: كَانَ مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ مُخَلَّدٍ عَلَى أَسْفَلِ الْأَرْضِ، قَالَ: فَاسْتَعْمَلَ رُوَيْفِعَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، فَسِرْنَا مَعَهُ مِنْ شَرِيكٍ إِلَى كَوْمِ، ، عَلْقَامَ، أَوْ مِنْ كَوْمِ عَلْقَامَ إِلَى شَرِيكٍ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رُوَيْفِعُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ: كُنَّا نَغْزُو عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَأْخُذُ أَحَدُنَا جَمَلَ أَخِيهِ عَلَى أَنَّ لَهُ النِّصْفَ مِمَّا يَغْنَمُ، قَالَ: حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَطِيرُ لَهُ الْقِدْحُ، وَلِلْآخَرِ النَّصْلُ وَالرِّيشُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رُوَيْفِعُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَا رُوَيْفِعُ، لَعَلَّ الْحَيَاةَ سَتَطُولُ بِكَ، فَأَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ عَقَدَ لِحْيَتَهُ أَوْ تَقَلَّدَ وَتَرًا، أَوْ اسْتَنْجَى بِرَجِيعِ دَابَّةٍ أَوْ عَظْمٍ، فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " (١)، ،

English translation

Shiyam bin Baytan says that Muslamah bin Makhlad (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed over the lowlands, and he entrusted a responsibility to Ruwaifi’ bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him). So we traveled with him from “Shareek” to “Kawm Alqam.” Then Ruwaifi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) said that during the blessed era of the Prophet (ﷺ), we used to participate in jihad, and one of us would take a camel from another on the condition that he would give half of his share from the spoils of war to the owner of the she-camel. Sometimes, one of us would have only a spear, and another would have fruits and feathers. And the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, “O Ruwaifi’! It may be that you live a long life, so inform the people that whoever ties a knot in his beard, or hangs a string around his neck, or cleans himself with the dung or bone of an animal, then it is as if he has shown disassociation from the Shari’ah revealed to Muhammad (ﷺ).”
