حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ حُسَيْنٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ الْأَزْدِيِّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا يَقُولُ لِلْحَلَّاقِ : " يَا غُلَامُ ، أَبْلِغِ الْعَظْمَيْنِ " . قَالَ : فَلَمَّا حَلَقَهُ أَعْطَاهُ ذِرَاعَيْهِ وَصَدْرَهُ ، فَحَلَقَ شَعَرًا عَلَيْهِمَا وَالنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ . فَقَالَ لَهُ سَالِمٌ : يَا أَبَةِ ، إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ ؟ قَالَ : " فَأَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِسُنَّةٍ ، وَلَكِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ آذَاهُ شَعَرُهُ ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُخَفِّفَهُ عَنْهُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said to a barber: "O boy, reach as far as the two bones of the ears (when shaving the head)." The narrator says: When he had shaved his head, he presented his two arms and chest to him (to be shaved), so the barber shaved the hair on them while the people were watching him. Then his son Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) said to him: O dear father, the people are thinking that (shaving this body hair) is a Sunnah? He replied: "Then tell the people that it is certainly not a Sunnah; rather, this hair of his was troubling Ibn Umar, so he wanted to remove it and lighten his burden."
