Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ،، قَالَتْ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِقَتْلِ الأَبْتَرِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ يُصِيبُ الْبَصَرَ، وَيُذْهِبُ الْحَبَلَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Musaddad narrated to us: Yahya narrated to us, from Hisham, who said: My father narrated to me, from ʿAʾisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: The Prophet ﷺ ordered that the short-tailed one be killed, and said: ‘It harms eyesight and ends pregnancy.’

Translation notes
  • Followed the Arabic ‘short-tailed one’ without adding the alternate ‘mutilated-tail’ gloss found in the English witness.
