Text and translation

English translation

1981. It was reported from Ibn Sirīn, from Anas bin Mālik, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stoned the Jamrat Al-'Aqabah on the Day of Sacrifice, then returned to his tent in Minā, called for a butcher, and then slaughtered (his animals). He then called for a barber, who began shaving from his right side. The Prophet ﷺ then started distributing it to those who were around him — a hair or two (to each person). Then, (the barber) began shaving his left side. After he had done so, the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Abū Ṭalḥah, come here!' and he gave it all to him." (Sahih)

Arabic text

1981 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ بِمِنًى فَدَعَا بِذِبْحٍ، فَذُبِحَ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِالْحَلَّاقِ، فَأَخَذَ بِشِقِّ رَأْسِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ فَحَلَقَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَقْسِمُ بَيْنَ مَنْ يَلِيهِ الشَّعْرَةَ وَالشَّعْرَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِشِقِّ رَأْسِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ فَحَلَقَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَا هُنَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ» فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ.
