- قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ عُمَارَةَ نَسِيبَةَ بِنْتِ كَعْبٍ ؓ قَالَتْ:
أَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَنْحَرُ بُدْنَهُ قِيَامًا، وَسَمِعْتُهُ ﷺ يَقُولُ - وَقَدْ حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ قُبَّةً لَهُ حَمْرَاءَ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ أَخْرَجَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ قُبَّتِهِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ -: يَرْحَمُ اللهُ الْمُحَلِّقِينَ - ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَالْمُقَصِّرِينَ

✧ I was looking at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was slaughtering his camels standing, and I heard him ﷺ say – after he had shaved his head, then he entered a red tent of his, and I saw him bring his head out of his tent, saying: 'May Allah have mercy on those who shave their heads' – three times, then he said: 'And those who shorten.'
