Arabic hadith text

وَعَن ابنِ الحنظليَّةِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ خُرَيْمٌ الْأَسْدِيُّ لَوْلَا طُولُ جُمَّتِه وإسبال إزراه» فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ خُرَيْمًا فَأَخَذَ شَفْرَةً فَقَطَعَ بِهَا جمته إِلَى أُذُنَيْهِ وَرفع إزراه إِلَى أَنْصَاف سَاقيه. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

Translation

Ibn al-Hanzaliyya, one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, “What an excellent man Khuraym al-Asadi would be, were it not for the length of his hair and his letting his lower garment hang down.” When Khuraym heard this, he took a knife and cut his hair to his ears, and raised his lower garment to the middle of his shins. Abu Dawud transmitted it.
