His grandmother says: I heard the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: May Allah have mercy on those who shave their heads, may Allah have mercy on those who shave their heads. The people said for the third time: And those who shorten their hair? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: And may He have mercy on those who shorten their hair as well.
