ahmad:17640 – ʿAbdullāh b. al-Ḥārith > Thawr b. Yazīd > Naṣrʿan a man from Banī Sulaym > ʿUtbah b. ʿAbd al-Sulamī

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbade cutting off the forelocks of horses, cutting off their tails, and cutting off their manes. He said, "As for their tails, they are their flies swatters. As for their forelocks, they are their beauty. And as for their manes, they are where goodness is tied."  

أحمد:١٧٦٤٠ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنِي ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ نَصْرٍعَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ جَزِّ أَعْرَافِ الْخَيْلِ وَنَتْفِ أَذْنَابِهَا وَجَزِّ نَوَاصِيهَا وَقَالَ أَمَّا أَذْنَابُهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَذَابُّهَا وَأَمَّا أَعْرَافُهَا فَإِنَّهَا إِدْفَاؤُهَا وَأَمَّا نَوَاصِيهَا فَإِنَّ الْخَيْرَ مَعْقُودٌ فِيهَا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the trimming of horse's tails, their feathers, and their forelocks. He said, "Their tails are their fly whisks, their feathers are their armor, and their forelocks are tied with blessings until the Day of Judgment."  

أحمد:١٧٦٣٨ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ نَصْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ نَتْفِ أَذْنَابِ الْخَيْلِ وَأَعْرَافِهَا وَنَوَاصِيهَا وَقَالَ أَذْنَابُهَا مَذَابُّهَا وَأَعْرَافُهَا إِدْفَاؤُهَا وَنَوَاصِيهَا مَعْقُودٌ بِهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbade cutting off the tails of horses, as well as their manes and forelocks. As for the tails, they are their beautification, and as for the forelocks, they are their protection, and as for the manes, goodness is intertwined in them.  

الطبراني:١٤٤٤٨ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ النَّرْسِيُّ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ شُفَيٍّ عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «نَهَى عَنْ جَزِّ أَذْنَابِ الْخَيْلِ وَنَوَاصِيِهَا وأَعْرافِها فَأَمَّا أَذْنَابُهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَذَابُّهَا وَأَمَّا أَعْرَافُهَا فَإِنَّهَا إِدْفَاؤُهَا وَأَمَّا نَوَاصِيهَا فَإِنَّ الْخَيْرَ مَعْقُودٌ فِيهَا»
