Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ مَحْمُودٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِبْلٍ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنْ ثَلاَثٍ عَنْ نَقْرَةِ الْغُرَابِ وَعَنْ فِرْشَةِ السَّبُعِ وَأَنْ يُوطِنَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي فِيهِ كَمَا يُوطِنُ الْبَعِيرُ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Waki‘ narrated to us. And Abu Bishr Bakr ibn Khalaf narrated to us; Yahya ibn Sa‘id narrated to us. They both said: Abd al-Hamid ibn Ja‘far narrated to us, from his father, from Tamim ibn Mahmud, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Shibl, who said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade three things: pecking like a crow, spreading one’s forearms on the ground like a beast of prey, and a man making a place where he prays his regular spot, as a camel makes its regular resting place.’
