Note 1

Let no camel’s neck have a string amulet, etc.

(1) The statement: "Let no camel’s neck have a string amulet, etc.": Al-Nawawi said: Muhammad ibn al-Hasan and others said: It means do not adorn them with bowstrings, as it may tighten around their necks and choke them. It was previously mentioned that they might graze on a tree or rub their neck against it and get caught. As stated in (Al-Mirqat).

(١).قوله: لا تبقين في رقبة بعير قلادة من وتر إلخ: قال النووي: قال محمد بن الحسن وغيره: معناه لا تقلدوها أوتار القسي؛ لثلا يضيق على عنقها فيخنقها اهـ. وقد سبق أنها ربما رعت الشجرة أو حكت بها عنقها فتشبت بها. كذا في (المرقاة).
