Sunan an-Nasai 4079 (Book 37, Hadith 114) #18612
Avoiding Magic and Shirk

SUMMARY: The hadith warns against the practice of tying knots and blowing on them, as it is considered a form of magic, which is an act of shirk.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah SAW said: 'Whoever ties a know and blows on it, he has practiced magic; and whoever practices magic, he has committed Shirk; and whoever hangs up something (as an amulet) will be entrusted to it'."
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ عَقَدَ عُقْدَةً ثُمَّ نَفَثَ فِيهَا فَقَدْ سَحَرَ وَمَنْ سَحَرَ فَقَدْ أَشْرَكَ وَمَنْ تَعَلَّقَ شَيْئًا وُكِّلَ إِلَيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns against the practice of tying knots and blowing on them, as it is considered a form of magic or sihr. This act is seen as an act of shirk or polytheism because it involves attributing power to something other than Allah. Additionally, this hadith also warns against hanging up amulets or hamsahs for protection, as this too can be seen as an act that attributes power to something other than Allah. It is important to remember that only Allah has the power to protect us from harm and provide us with blessings.
