Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، وَيُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنِ الْكَىِّ فَاكْتَوَيْتُ فَمَا أَفْلَحْتُ وَلاَ أَنْجَحْتُ .

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
ʿAmr ibn Rāfiʿ narrated to us: Hushaym narrated to us, from Manṣūr and Yūnus, from al-Ḥasan, from ʿImrān ibn Ḥuṣayn, who said: The Messenger of Allah forbade cauterization, but I had myself cauterized, and I neither prospered nor succeeded.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic gives two coordinated negative outcomes—فَمَا أَفْلَحْتُ وَلَا أَنْجَحْتُ—so both are retained.
