حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنِي نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ ح
َدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَقُصُّوا نَوَاصِيَ الْخَيْلِ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا الْبَرَكَةَ وَلَا تَجُزُّوا أَعْرَافَهَا فَإِنَّهُ إِدْفَاؤُهَا وَلَا تَقُصُّوا أَذْنَابَهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَذَابُّهَا

ʿAlī ibn Baḥr narrated to us, Baqiyyah ibn al-Walīd narrated to us, Naṣr ibn ʿAlqamah narrated to me saying: A man from Banū Sulaym narrated to me, from ʿUtbah ibn ʿAbd al-Sulamī who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not cut the forelocks of horses, for goodness is tied to them. Do not shear their manes, for they are their warmth. Do not cut their tails, for they are their fly-whisks.'
