Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْقَزَعِ. قِيلَ لِنَافِعٍ: مَا الْقَزَعُ؟ قَالَ: يُحْلَقُ بعضُ رَأس الصبيِّ وَيتْرك البعضُ وَألْحق بَعضهم التَّفْسِير بِالْحَدِيثِ

Translation

Nafi reported from Ibn Umar: I heard the Prophet ﷺ forbid qaza. Nafi was asked, “What is qaza?” He replied, “Shaving part of a boy head and leaving some of it.” Some transmitters incorporated this explanation into the hadith itself.
