WE RELATE IN the book of Ibn as-Sunnī that Sa‘īd ibn al-Musayyab related that Abū Ayyūb al-Anṣārī 
removed something harmful from the beard of the Messenger of Allah 
, whereupon the Messenger of Allah said: “May Allah wipe away from you, Abū Ayyūb, what you dislike.”

Masaḥa-llāhu ‘anka yā Abā Ayyūba mā takrah.
Another account, by Sa‘īd , states that Abū Ayyūb al-Anṣārī took something [harmful] away from the Messenger of Allah and the Messenger of Allah said: “May there be no evil with you, Abū Ayyūb. May there be no evil with you, Abū Ayyūb.” [1].

Lā yakun bika-s-sū’u yā Abā Ayyūb, lā yakun bika-s-sū’.
We relate in [the same book] that ‘Abdullāh ibn Bakr al-Bāhilī narrated: “‘Umar took something from the beard (or head) of a man. The man said, ‘May Allah turn evil away from you.’ ‘Umar then told him: ‘He has averted evil from us since we embraced Islam. But if something [harmful is removed] from you should say: May your hands receive goodness.’” [2].
