3045. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "It was said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, why did you support (by supplicating for) those who shave (their heads) three times and those who cut (their hair) only once?' He said: 'Because they did not entertain any doubts.'" (Da'if)
3045 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِمَ ظَاهَرْتَ لِلْمُحَلِّقِينَ ثَلَاثًا، وَلِلْمُقَصِّرِينَ وَاحِدَةً؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَشُكُّوا»

Hâfiz Ibn Hajar quoted from Imâm Khattâbî ﷺ, that letting hair long was the common custom of the Arabs and they used to consider shaving the head as the norm of non-Arabs so, they did not like shaving heads. It means that despite this custom, shaving the head is a great degree of submission to the commands of the Shari'ah. Doubt here means showing hesitation and irresolution.
