Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 659 — Prohibition of shaving the head

`Sayyiduna Abu Musa (Ash'ari) (may Allah be pleased with him)` once became seriously ill, and (one day) he fell unconscious, and his head was in the lap of a woman from among his relatives, and she began to weep. Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) did not have enough strength to stop her. Then when he regained consciousness, he said: "I am free from that person from whom Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), declared himself free. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) declared himself free from the woman who wails loudly in grief, shaves her head, and tears her collar or garment."
