عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مَالِكِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: ((اَللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُحَلِّقِينَ اَللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُحَلِّقِينَ)) قَالَ: يَقُولُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: وَالْمُقَصِّرِينَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوْ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ: ((وَالْمُقَصِّرِينَ)) ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ مَحْلُوقُ الرَّأْسِ فَمَا يَسُرُّنِي بِحَلْقِ رَأْسِي حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ أَوْ خَطَرًا عَظِيمًا
Narrated from Sayyiduna Malik bin Rabi’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! Forgive those who shave their heads. O Allah! Forgive those who shave their heads. A man from the people said: And those who shorten their hair? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said the third or fourth time: And forgive those who shorten their hair as well. I (Malik) had shaved my head that day, and I was so happy because of this that I could not have been as happy even if I had received red camels or a large share.
