Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنِي ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ نَصْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ أَنَّ النَّ
بِيَّ 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
ʿAbdullāh ibn al-Ḥārith narrated to us, Thawr ibn Yazīd narrated to me, from Naṣr, from a man from Banū Sulaym, from ʿUtbah ibn ʿAbd al-Sulamī: that the Prophet ﷺ forbade shearing the manes of horses, plucking their tails, and cutting their forelocks. He said, 'As for their tails, they are their fly-whisks; as for their manes, they are their warmth; and as for their forelocks, goodness is tied in them.'
