Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، قَالَ قَتَادَةُ كَانَ أَنَسٌ يَأْمُرُ بِالتَّذْنُوبِ فَيُقْرَضُ .
Translation
Suwayd reported to us; he said: ʿAbdullah informed us, from Saʿid ibn Abi ʿArubah. Qatadah said: ‘Anas used to tell us to trim off the tailed portion of the dates.’
Translation notes
‘Tailed portion’ translates al-tadhnoob; the precise part of the date meant is uncertain in the surrounding reports.
