حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ أَخْبَرَنَا لَيْثٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَوْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ مَرَّ بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي مَضْفُورَ الرَّأْسِ مَعْقُودًا مِنْ وَرَائِهِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَبْرَحْ يَحُلُّ عُقَدَ رَأْسِهِ فَأَقَرَّ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ حَلِّهِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ عَلَامَ صَنَعْتَ بِرَأْسِي مَا صَنَعْتَ بِرَأْسِي آنِفًا قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْقُودٌ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي مَكْتُوفًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2904
It was narrated from Shu'bah the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas or Kuraib the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (RA) passed by Abdullah bin al-Harith bin Abi Rabee'ah when he was praying with his hair in braids, tied at the back. He stood over him and started undoing the braids, and 'Abdullah bin al-Harith let him carry on until he had finished undoing it and then sat down. When Ibn al-Harith finished praying, he came to him and said: Why did you do what you did to my head just now? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "The likeness of the one who prays with his hair tied up at the back is like one who prays with his hands tied behind his back."
