5920. Narrated 'Ubaidullāh bin Hafs that 'Umar bin Nāfi' told him that Nāfi', Maula 'Abdullāh had heard Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما saying, "I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ forbidding Al-Qaza'." 'Ubaidullāh added: I said, "What is Al-Qaza?" 'Ubaidullah pointed (towards his head) to show us and added, "Nāfi' said, 'It is when a boy has his head shaved leaving a tuft of hair here and a tuft of hair there'." 'Ubaidullah pointed towards his forehead and the sides of his head. 'Ubaidullah was asked, "Does this apply to both girls and boys?" He said, "I don't know, but Nāfi' said, 'The boy'." 'Ubaidullah added, "I asked Nāfi' again, and he said, 'As for leaving hair on the temples and the back part of the boy's head, there is no harm, but Al-Qaza' is to leave a tuft of hair on his forehead unshaved while there is no hair on the rest of his head, and also to leave hair on either side of his head."

5920 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْلَدٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ نَافِعٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَقُولُ: «سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنِ القَزَعِ» قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ: قُلْتُ: وَمَا القَزَعُ؟ فَأَشَارَ لَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: إِذَا حَلَقَ الصَّبِيَّ، وَتَرَكَ هَا هُنَا شَعَرَةً وَهَا هُنَا وَهَا هُنَا، فَأَشَارَ لَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ إِلَى نَاصِيَتِهِ وَجَانِبَيْ رَأْسِهِ. قِيلَ لِعُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ: فَالْجَارِيَةُ وَالغُلاَمُ؟ قَالَ: لاَ أَدْرِي، هَكَذَا قَالَ: الصَّبِيُّ. قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ: وَعَاوَدْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: أَمَّا القُصَّةُ وَالقَفَا لِلْغُلاَمِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِهِمَا، وَلَكِنَّ القَزَعَ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ شَعَرٌ، وَلَيْسَ فِي رَأْسِهِ غَيْرُهُ، وَكَذَلِكَ شَقُّ رَأْسِهِ هَذَا وَهَذَا
