حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ الْمَعْنَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَخْرَةَ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ ضِفْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَأَمَرَ بِجَنْبٍ فَشُوِيَ وَأَخَذَ الشَّفْرَةَ فَجَعَلَ يَحُزُّ لِي بِهَا مِنْهُ قَالَ فَجَائَ بِلَالٌ فَآذَنَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَالَ فَأَلْقَی الشَّفْرَةَ وَقَالَ مَا لَهُ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاهُ وَقَامَ يُصَلِّ زَادَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ وَکَانَ شَارِبِي وَفَی فَقَصَّهُ لِي عَلَی سِوَاکٍ أَوْ قَالَ أَقُصُّهُ لَکَ عَلَی سِوَاکٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 188
Narrated Al-Mughirah ibn Shubah: One night I became the guest of the Prophet ﷺ. He ordered that a piece of mutton be roasted, and it was roasted. He then took a knife and began to cut the meat with it for me. In the meantime Bilal came and called him for prayer. He threw the knife and said: What happened! may his hands be smeared with earth! He then stood for offering prayer. Al-Anbari added: My moustaches became lengthy. He trimmed them by placing a took-stick; or he said: I shall trim your moustaches by placing the tooth-stick there. Al-Anbari said: My moustaches became lengthy. He trimmed them by placing a tooth-stick ; or he said: I shall trim your moustaches by placing the tooth-stick there.
