Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبْصَرَ عَلَى عَضُدِ رَجُلٍ حَلْقَةً أُرَاهُ قَالَ مِنْ صُفْرٍ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ مَا هَذِهِ قَالَ مِنْ الْوَاهِنَةِ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَا تَزِيدُكَ إِلَّا وَهْنًا انْبِذْهَا عَنْكَ فَإِنَّكَ لَوْ مِتَّ وَهِيَ عَلَيْكَ مَا أَفْلَحْتَ أَبَدًا.
English Translation
Khalaf ibn al-Walid told us, al-Mubarak told us, from al-Hasan, who said: Imran ibn Husayn informed me that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw on the upper arm of a man a ring - I think he said made of brass - and said: "Woe to you, what is this?" He said: "It is a charm against al-wahinah." He said: "It will only increase you in weakness. Cast it away from you, for if you were to die while it is on you, you would never succeed."
