حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَيْشُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَاصِلٍ، قَالَ: لَقِيتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ فَصَافَحَنِي، فَرَأَى فِي أَظْفَارِي طُولًا، فَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَسْأَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَنْ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ، وَهُوَ يَدَعُ أَظْفَارَهُ كَأَظَافِيرِ الطَّيْرِ يَجْتَمِعُ فِيهَا الْجَنَابَةُ وَالْخَبَثُ وَالتَّفَثُ " وَلَمْ يَقُلْ وَكِيعٌ مَرَّةً: الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، قَالَ غَيْرُهُ: أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْعَتَكِيُّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: قَالَ أَبِي: " سَبَقَهُ لِسَانُهُ، يَعْنِي وَكِيعًا، فَقَالَ: لَقِيتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْعَتَكِيُّ " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
Abu Wasil says that once I met Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him). He shook hands with me and noticed that my nails were long. He said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Each of you asks about heavenly matters while leaving his nails like the nails of birds, in which impurity, filth, and dirt accumulate." Some hadith scholars say that the narrator of this hadith is not Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), but rather Abu Ayyub Ataki (may Allah be pleased with him).
