Utbah heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Do not cut the forelocks, manes, or tails of horse, for their tails are their means of driving flies, their manes provide them with warmth, and blessing is tide to their forelocks.

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تَقُصُّوا نَوَاصِيَ الْخَيْلِ وَلاَ مَعَارِفَهَا وَلاَ أَذْنَابَهَا فَإِنَّ أَذْنَابَهَا مَذَابُّهَا وَمَعَارِفَهَا دِفَاؤُهَا وَنَوَاصِيهَا مَعْقُودٌ فِيهَا الْخَيْرُ

[AI] 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."

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

[AI] 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."

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

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not cut off the tufts of the horses' manes, for they contain blessings. And do not shorten their tails, for they are their means of swatting away flies."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُصُّوا نَوَاصِيَ الْخَيْلِ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا الْبَرَكَةَ وَلَا تَجُزُّوا أَعْرَافَهَافَإِنَّهُ أَدْفَاؤُهَا وَلَا تَقُصُّوا أَذْنَابَهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَذَابُّهَا

[AI] 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.

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

Utbah heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Do not cut the forelocks, manes, or tails of horse, for their tails are their means of driving flies, their manes provide them with warmth, and blessing is tide to their forelocks. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2542)

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تَقُصُّوا نَوَاصِيَ الْخَيْلِ وَلَا مَعَارِفَهَا وَلَا أَذْنَابَهَا؛ فَإِنَّ أَذْنَابَهَا مَذَابُّهَا وَمَعَارِفَهَا دِفَاؤُهَا وَنَوَاصِيَهَا مَعْقُودٌ فِيهَا الْخَيْرُ

"لا تَحْذِفُوا أَذْنَابَ الْخَيلِ؛ فَإِنَّهَا مَذَابُّهَا، وَلا تَقُصُّوا أَعْرافَهَا فَإِنَّهَا دِفَاؤُهَا".

"لا تَقُصُّوا نَوَاصِىَ الخَيْلِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ مَعْقودٌ بِنَواصِيهَا الخَيْرُ، وَلا أَعْرافَهَا؛ فَإِنَّهَا أَدْفَاؤهُا، وَلا أذنَابَهَا، فَإِنَّهَا مَذَابُّهَا".
