Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الْخَيْلُ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ".
Translation
Abdullah bin Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Good will remain tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection.”
Translation notes
The image of good being tied to the forelocks is kept close to the Arabic wording.
