Musnad Ahmad 17640 — Hadith of 'Utbah ibn 'Abd al-Sulami Abu al-Walid
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنِي ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ نَصْرٍ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ ، عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ جَزِّ أَعْرَافِ الْخَيْلِ ، وَنَتْفِ أَذْنَابِهَا ، وَجَزِّ نَوَاصِيهَا ، وَقَالَ : " أَمَّا أَذْنَابُهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَذَابُّهَا ، وَأَمَّا أَعْرَافُهَا فَإِنَّهَا أَدْفَاؤُهَا ، وَأَمَّا نَوَاصِيهَا ، فَإِنَّ الْخَيْرَ مَعْقُودٌ فِيهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade plucking the hair of horses’ tails, manes, and forelocks, and said: Their tails are a fly-whisk for them, their manes are a means of protection from the cold, and goodness has been placed in their forelocks until the Day of Resurrection.
