Majma al-Zawaid 8856 — Clipping the nails and other matters

وَعَنْ 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 أَظَافِرَهُ كَأَظَافِيرِ الطَّيْرِ تَجْتَمِعُ فِيهَا الْخَبَاثَةُ وَالْخُبْثُ وَالتَّفَثُ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَقَالَ : سَبَقَهُ لِسَانُهُ - يَعْنِي وَكِيعًا - فَقَالَ : لَقِيتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ [ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ ] الْعَتَكِيُّ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِاخْتِصَارٍ ، وَرِجَالُهُمَا رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ خَلَا أَبَا وَاصِلٍ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .
Abu Wasil narrates: I met Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) and he shook hands with me. He saw that my nails were long, so he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One of you asks about the news of the heavens, while he leaves his nails like the claws of birds, in which filth, impure things and dirt gather."
Ahmad recorded it. In it his tongue, that is Waki's, slipped, and he said: "I met Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him)," whereas he was Abu Ayyub al-Ataki (whom the narrator had met).
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in abridged form. The narrators of both are the narrators of the Sahih, except Abu Wasil, who is thiqah (trustworthy).
