(Yazīgh) means “to incline.” Al-Nihāyah states: “In the hadith of supplication, ‘Do not let my heart deviate’ means: do not turn it away from faith. One says, ‘He deviated from the path,’ when he turned away from it.”

1936 — “Keep horses and tether them, for goodness is tied to their forelocks.”

Al-Bukhārī recorded it in al-Tārīkh (2/2/184): Muʿallā related to us; Muḥammad ibn Ḥumrān informed us; Salm al-Jurmī informed us, from Suwādah ibn al-Rabīʿ, who said:

“I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he ordered that a small herd of camels be given to me. He said to me: ‘Instruct your sons to trim their nails when handling the udders of their camels and livestock, and tell them to let their young suckle from them, lest a year of drought overtake them while they are emaciated.’ He said: ‘Do you possess any property?’ I replied: ‘Yes, I possess property, horses, and slaves.’ He then said the above.”

I say: This is a good chain of transmission. Al-Bukhārī cited it in the biographical notice on this Suwādah and said: “Al-Jurmī; he was a Companion and is counted among the people of Basra.” Ibn Ḥajar likewise included him under this heading in al-Iṣābah. Al-Manāwī, however, was unaware of his status and said: “I have not seen him among the well-known Companions!” Salm was Salm ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Jurmī, and he was truthful; Muḥammad ibn Ḥumrān was likewise, as stated in al-Taqrīb. Muʿallā was Muʿallā ibn Asad al-ʿAmmī, a trustworthy and precise narrator recorded by both al-Bukhārī and Muslim. Al-Haythamī cited the hadith, together with the account in abbreviated form, in al-Majmaʿ (5/259), and said: “Al-Bazzār narrated it, and its narrators are trustworthy.”

I say: Aḥmad also recorded it (3/484) through al-Murjī ibn Rajāʾ al-Yashkurī, who said: Salm ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān related it to me, but without the words, “and tell them.” Al-Suyūṭī cited it in al-Jāmiʿ with the wording:
