عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللّٰهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ضَحَّى مَرَّةً بِالْمَدِينَةِ - قَالَ نَافِعٌ : فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ لَهُ كَبْشًا فَحِيلًا أَقْرَنَ، ثُمَّ أَذْبَحَهُ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى فِي مُصَلَّى النَّاسِ. قَالَ نَافِعٌ : فَفَعَلْتُ. ثُمَّ حُمِلَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فَحَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ حِينَ ذُبِحَ الْكَبْشُ، وَكَانَ مَرِيضًا لَمْ يَشْهَدِ الْعِيدَ مَعَ النَّاسِ، قَالَ نَافِعٌ : وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ : لَيْسَ حِلَاقُ الرَّأْسِ بِوَاجِبٍ عَلَى مَنْ ضَحَّى، وَقَدْ فَعَلَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ.
It is narrated from Nafi‘ that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) once performed the sacrifice in Madinah, so he ordered me to buy a horned goat and to slaughter it on the day of Eid al-Adha at the Eid ground. I did so, and then the slaughtered goat was sent to Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). When he had his head shaved—at that time he was ill and did not come for the Eid prayer. Nafi‘ said: Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say that shaving the head is not obligatory upon the one performing the sacrifice, but Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) still had his head shaved.
