English translation

647. Kuraib, the freed-slave of Ibn 'Abbās, said that 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās saw 'Abdullāh bin Al-Ĥārith praying while his hair was tied up behind him. So he stood behind him and started undoing it, while he ('Abdullāh bin Al-Ĥārith) allowed him to do so. When he finished (the prayer), he turned around to Ibn 'Abbās and said: "Why are you concerned about my head?" He replied: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'The example of the one who does this is like the one who prays while he is bound with his hands tied behind him.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

647 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ بُكَيْرًا، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ كُرَيْبًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَأَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ يُصَلِّي، وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْقُوصٌ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، فَقَامَ وَرَاءَهُ، فَجَعَلَ يَحُلُّهُ وَأَقَرَّ لَهُ الْآخَرُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَقَالَ: مَا لَكَ وَرَأْسِي، قَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ هَذَا مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ مَكْتُوفٌ»
