Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Amr bin Dinar says that the person who cut Hazrat Nafi bin Alqamah’s hair during his governorship informed me; he says that Nafi said to me, “Start from the left side.” I said to him, “I had cut the hair of Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), and he had instructed me to start from the right side.” He said, “Do as you have been instructed.”
