Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ الطَّوِيلُ وَكَانَ ثِقَةً رَجُلًا صَالِحًا قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ كَانَتْ لِي جُمَّةٌ كُنْتُ إِذَا سَجَدْتُ رَفَعْتُهَا فَرَآنِي أَبُو حَسَنٍ الْمَازِنِيُّ فَقَالَ تَرْفَعُهَا لَا يُصِيبُهَا التُّرَابُ وَاللَّهِ لَأَحْلِقَنَّهَا فَحَلَقَهَا.
English Translation
'Abdullah narrated to us: Ahmad ibn Hatim al-Tawil -- who was reliable, a righteous man -- narrated to us, he said: 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Muhammad -- that is, al-Darawardi -- narrated to us, from 'Amr ibn Yahya, from his father, or his paternal uncle, who said: I had a mass of hair which I used to lift up when I prostrated. Abu Hasan al-Mazini saw me and said: "You lift it up so that the dust will not touch it? By God, I will shave it off!" So he shaved it.
