Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنِي نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي 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.
