ACTIONS OF THE PROPHET, praise and peace be upon him, ON PILGRIMAGE

734

“When the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, returned to Mina (on Pilgrimage) he went to the Jamra (of Aqabah) and threw stones at it. Then he returned to his camp and offered a sacrifice. Then he asked the barber to shave his head starting on the right side and finishing on the left side. Then he distributed his hair among the people.

After he had thrown stones at the Jamarah and offered the sacrifice he was ready to be shaved, he indicated to the barber to shave the right side of his head and so he was shaved on that side. Then he called Abu Talha Ansari and gave his hair to him. Then he indicated for the left side of his head to be shaved and once again gave the hair to Abu Talha saying, ‘Distribute it among the people.’”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Anas who related this.
