120. DESCRIPTION OF HIS SHAVING
Imam Ahmad related that Ibn ‘Umar narrated that Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), shaved his head during his Hajj.Nafi’ narrated that Ibn ‘Umar narrated: Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), and a group of his Companions shaved their heads while some others shortened their hairs.
Imam Muslim related from the Hadith of Al-Laithi from Nafi’ with an addition. ‘Abdullah said: Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “May Allah have Mercy on those who shaved,” once or twice. They said: “And those who shortened, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “And those who shortened.”
Anas Ibn Malik narrated that Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), got to Mina and went to the Jamrah and he stoned it. Thereafter he returned to his residence at Mina and he slaughtered and then he said to the barber: “Take from here,” pointing to the right side of his head and then to the left. Afterward, people began to approach him. In another narration, he shaved the right side and he distributed among the people a strand or two strands each and he gave the left side to Talhah. In yet another report, he gave the right side to Abu Talhah and he gave him the left side and asked him to distribute it among the people.
Anas narrated: I saw Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), while the barber was shaving his head and his Companions encircled him. They did not want any strand of hair to fall except in the hand of one of them. Ahmad related it exclusively.
Afterward, Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), donned his cloth and applied perfume after he had stoned the Jamrat Al‘Aqabah and slaughtered but before circumambulating the House. ‘A’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her), the Mother of the Believers, was the one who applied the perfume on him.
Al-Bukhari related on the authority of ‘Abdur Rahman Ibn Al- Qasim Ibn Muhammad, the best of the people of his time, who said that he heard his father who was also the best of the people of his generation say that he heard ‘A’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her) say: “I applied perfume on Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), with these hands of mine when he wanted to put on Ihram.” Perhaps it was at the time of removing the Ihram before he circumambulated the House and she spread her hands to demonstrate that.
It is narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “When you have stoned the Jamrah, all that has been prohibited to you before becomes permissible, except intercourse till you circumambulate theHouse.” A man said: “And perfume, O Abu ‘Abbas?” He replied: “I saw Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), perfuming himself with musk. Is this perfume or not?”
Umm Salamah narrated: The night in which Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), went around his wives was on the night of Nahr. When he was with me, Wahb Ibn Zam‘ah and a man from the family of Abi Umayyah entered after they had changed their clothes. Allah’s Messenger, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), asked them: “Have you done your Tawaf Al- Ifadah?” Both of them replied in the negative and the Prophet, (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), said to them: “Remove your dress.” They complied but Wahb asked him: “But why, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “This is a day in which facility has been given to you once you have stoned the Jamrah, slaughtered the Hady, if you have one, to be free from all prohibitions except intercourse with women until you have circumambulated the House. Thus, if you have stoned and you have not done the Tawaf Al-Ifadah, you remain in Ihram as you had been previously until you circumambulate the House.”
