حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا قُرَيْشُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ عَنْ أَبِي وَاصِلٍ قَالَ لَقِيتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ فَصَافَحَنِي فَرَأَى فِي أَظْفَارِي طُولًا فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَنْ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ يَدَعُ أَظْفَارَهُ كَأَظَافِيرِ الطَّيْرِ يَجْتَمِعُ فِيهَا الْجَنَابَةُ وَالْخَبَثُ وَالتَّفَثُ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ وَكِيعٌ مَرَّةً الْأَنْصَارِيَّ قَالَ غَيْرُهُ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْعَتَكِيُّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ أَبِي سَبَقَهُ لِسَانُهُ يَعْنِي وَكِيعٌ فَقَالَ لَقِيتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَإِنَّمَا فَهُوَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْعَتَكِيُّ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Waki' narrated to us, Quraysh ibn Hayyan narrated to us, from Abu Wasil, who said: I met Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, and he shook my hand and saw that my nails were long, and he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: One of you asks about news of the heavens while he leaves his nails like the claws of a bird, in which uncleanness, filth, and dirt collect. Waki' did not say once 'al-Ansari.' Someone else said it was Abu Ayyub al-'Ataki. Abu Abd al-Rahman said: My father said: His tongue slipped ahead of him — meaning Waki' — so he said 'I met Abu Ayyub al-Ansari,' whereas it is rather Abu Ayyub al-'Ataki.
