وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَا أُبَالِي مَا أَتَيْتُ إِنْ أَنَا شَرِبْتُ تِرْيَاقًا أَوْ تَعَلَّقْتُ تَمِيمَةً أَوْ قُلْتُ الشِّعْرَ مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِي» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Translation
‘Abdallah b. ‘Umar told that he heard God’s messenger say
“If I drink an antidote, or tie on an amulet, or compose poetry, I am the type who does not care what he does.”*Abu Dawud transmitted it.* Meaning that one who does any such thing is an abandoned character.
