Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنِي ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ نَصْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ جَزِّ أَعْرَافِ الْخَيْلِ وَنَتْفِ أَذْنَابِهَا وَجَزِّ نَوَاصِيهَا وَقَالَ أَمَّا أَذْنَابُهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَذَابُّهَا وَأَمَّا أَعْرَافُهَا فَإِنَّهَا إِدْفَاؤُهَا وَأَمَّا نَوَاصِيهَا فَإِنَّ الْخَيْرَ مَعْقُودٌ فِيهَا.
English Translation
Abdullah ibn al-Harith narrated to us, he said: Thawr ibn Yazid narrated to me, from Nasr, from a man of Banu Sulaym, from Utbah ibn Abd al-Sulami, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade clipping the manes of horses, plucking their tails, and clipping their forelocks, and said: 'As for their tails, they are their fly-whisks; as for their manes, they are their warmth; and as for their forelocks, good is tied in them.'
