قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا قُرَيْشُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ قَالَ:
أَتَيْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَزْدِيَّ فَصَافَحْتُهُ، فَرَأَى أَظْفَارِي طِوَالًا، فَقَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلُهُ، فَقَالَ: « يَسْأَلُنِي أَحَدُكُمْ عَنْ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ وَيَدَعُ أَظْفَارَهُ كَأَظْفَارِ الطَّيْرِ، تَجْتَمِعُ فِيهَا الْجَنَابَةُ وَالتَّفَثُ

✧ I came to Abu Ayyub al-Azdi and shook hands with him. He saw that my nails were long, and he said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asking him, and he said: "One of you asks me about the news of the heavens while he leaves his nails like the claws of birds, in which impurity and dirt gather."
