Sahih MuslimThe Book of Pilgrimage

When Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to Mina, he went to "Jamrat al-‘Aqabah" and threw pebbles at it. After that, he went to his tent in Mina and sacrificed. Thenو he called for a barber, pointed at the right side of his head, and said: "Shave from here." Then, he pointed at his left side and said: "Take (hair) from here." Then, he distributed his hair among the people.

Chapter: The Sunnah on the day of sacrifice is to stone the Jamrah, then offer the sacrifice, then shave the head, and shaving should be started on the right side of the head

Narrator:Anas ibn Mālik

وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ حَسَّانَ، يُخْبِرُ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ

لَمَّا رَمَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْجَمْرَةَ وَنَحَرَ نُسُكَهُ وَحَلَقَ نَاوَلَ الْحَالِقَ شِقَّهُ الأَيْمَنَ فَحَلَقَهُ ثُمَّ دَعَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهُ الشِّقَّ الأَيْسَرَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ احْلِقْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَحَلَقَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اقْسِمْهُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ‏"

Anas ibn Mālik, (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that when Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to Mina, he went to "Jamrat al-‘Aqabah" and threw pebbles at it. After that, he went to his tent in Mina and sacrificed. Then, he called for a barber, pointed at the right side of his head, and said: "Shave from here." Then, he pointed at his left side and said: "Take (hair) from here." Then, he distributed his hair among the people.

In another narration: "After he threw pebbles at "Jamarat al-‘Aqabah", he slaughtered his animal, then shaved his head. The barber started with the right side of his head, then he called Abu Talhah al-Ansāri and gave the hair to him. Then, he asked to shave his left side, and said: "Shave it!" The barber shaved it and he gave the hair to Abu Talhah. Then, he said: "Distribute it among the people!"

Explanation

When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) arrived at Mina on the day of Eid during his Farewell Pilgrimage, he threw pebbles at "Jamarat al-‘Aqabah", and then he went to his tent and slaughtered his sacrifice. Then, he called for a barber to shave his head. He told the barber to start with the right side of his head, and he started from there. Then he called Abu Talhah al-Ansāri and gave him the hair that was shaved off his right side. Then, he shaved the remainder of his head and gave the hair to Abu Talhah, and said: "Distribute it among the people!" He did it. Some people received one hair, some two, and some more than that. This was to seek blessings in his hair. Such act is permissible but exclusive to Prophet Muhammad's belongings.

Explanation in Arabic

لما أتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في حجة الوداع إلى منى يوم العيد رمى الجمرة، ثم ذهب إلى منزله ونحر هديه، ثم دعا بالحلاَّق فحلق رأسه؛ وأشار -صلى الله عليه وسلَّم- إلى الشق الأيمن فبدأ الحلاَّق بالشقِّ الأيمن، ثم دعا أبا طلحة -رضي الله عنه الأنصاري- وأعطاه شعر الشق الأيمن كله، ثم حلق بقية الرأس، ودعا أبا طلحة وأعطاه إياه، وقال: "اقسمه بين الناس" فقسمه، فمن الناس من ناله شعرة واحدة، ومنهم من ناله شعرتان، ومنهم من ناله أكثر حسب ما تيسر؛ وذلك لأجل التبرك بهذا الشعر الكريم؛ شعر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم .

وهذا جائز وخاص بآثاره صلى الله عليه وسلم .

  • استحباب البدء بيمين المحلوق، وهوشق الرأس الأيمن.
  • جواز التبرك بآثار الرسول -صلى الله عليه وسلم- في حدود ما أذن به.
  • جواز تخصيص بعض الناس بالخير دون غيرهم؛ لكونهم أهلًا لذلك، ولذلك دعا رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أبا طلحة الأنصاري -رضي الله عنه وأرضاه-، وأعطاه شعره، وأمره أن يقسمه بين الناس.
  • فضيلة أبي طلحة، وهو زوج أم سليم، وهو الذي حفر قبر النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.
  • توزيع شعره -صلى الله عليه وسلم- على الناس؛ ليكون بركة باقية عند الناس بعد موته.

I saw when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) got his hair cut by the barber, his Companions came round him and they eagerly wanted that no hair should fall but in the hand of a person.
