Abstract
With numerous chains of narration through Umm-i Salama, a saying has been attributed to the Prophet r prohibiting believers from clipping nails and cutting any of their (body or head) hair from the sighting of Dhu al-Ḥijjah’s moon till they have sacrificed the animal. The present study scrutinises this tradition as per the priciples of both ilm al-riwāyah and ilm al-dirāyah, taking into account all its variant texts and chains of narration. The work carefully concludes that, according to the established principles of Hadīth verification, the attribution of this narrative to the Prophet is not proven; neither it is tenable from the perspective of historical transmission nor textual analysis.
