Hadith 35595
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Bakr ibn Nafi from his

Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered the moustache to be
trimmed and the beard to be left.
Muwatta Malik Book 51, Hadith 1

"There is no contagion, no
hama and no serpent in a hungry belly. However, the possessor of sick
livestock must not stop at the same place as the possessor of healthy

wishes."
They said, "Messenger of Allah, Why is that?" The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "It

Note: The majority of scholars interpret this to mean that these things in and of themselves do not transmit or cause harm through supernatural or hidden means but that Allah is ultimately in control and any fearful superstition around these is false. Muwatta Malik Book 50, Hadith 19
