Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ الأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِرَجُلٍ يَقُودُ رَجُلاً فِي قَرَنٍ فَتَنَاوَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَطَعَهُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ نَذْرٌ .
Translation
Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿla reported to us; he said: Khalid narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, who said: Sulayman al-Ahwal narrated to me, from Tawus, from Ibn ʿAbbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, passed by a man leading another man by a cord. The Prophet took hold of it and cut it, saying, ‘It is a vow.’
