[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The likeness of the one who prays while his head is lowered is like the likeness of the one who prays while his hands are tied."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْقُوصٌ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ مَكْتُوفٌ

Why is it that you touched my head? He (Ibn 'Abbas) replied: (The man who observes prayer with plaited hair) is like one who prays with his hands tied behind.

He saw 'Abdullah bin Al-Harith praying with his hair bound behind him. He stopped and started to undo it. When he finished he turned to Ibn 'Abbas and said: "What were you doing to my head?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The likeness of this is that of one who prays with his hands tie behind his neck.'"

Kurayb the freed slave of Ibn Abbas reported: Abdullah ibn Abbas saw Abdullah ibn al-Harith praying having the back knot of the hair. He stood behind him and began to untie it. He remained standing unmoved (stationary). When he finished his prayer he came to Ibn Abbas and said to him: What were you doing with my head? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: A man who prays with the black knot of hair tied is the one praying pinioned.

[Machine] Why did you pray with your head tied up behind you, just as before? He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'The likeness of the one who prays with his head restrained from behind is like the likeness of one who prays with his hands tied."
