Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ " مَا لَمْ تَنَلْهُ أَخْفَافُ الإِبِلِ " يَعْنِي أَنَّ الإِبِلَ تَأْكُلُ مُنْتَهَى رُءُوسِهَا وَيُحْمَى مَا فَوْقَهُ .
Translation
Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Makhzumi explained the phrase “as far as the camel hooves do not reach” to mean that camels eat the arak trees up to the farthest point their heads can reach, and that the land beyond that may be reserved.
