The Reward of Shaving the Head
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “O Allah! Forgive those who shave their heads.” The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! Also pray for those who cut their hair. The Prophet (PBUH) said: O Allah! Forgive those who shave their heads. The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! Also forgive those who cut their hair. The Prophet (PBUH) said: Also forgive those who cut their hair.”
The Reward of Sacrifice
Allah Almighty says: ﴿وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ﴾
“And whoever honors the rites of Allah – indeed, it is from the piety of hearts.”
Abdullah bin Abbas (RA) says: “This means to respect the sacrifice and to make it substantial.”
