English translation

2992. It was narrated that Mu'awiyah said: "I cut a little from the ends of the hair of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ with the edge of an arrow that I had with me, after he had circumambulated the House, and performed Sâ' between As-Safâ and Al-Marwah, during the ten days." Qais said: "The people rebuked Mu'awiyah for that." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2989 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: «أَخَذْتُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ شَعْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِشْقَصٍ كَانَ مَعِي بَعْدَ مَا طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ فِي أَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ» قَالَ: قَيْسٌ وَالنَّاسُ يُنْكِرُونَ هَذَا عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ

Commentary

The rebuke of the scholars is connected with the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah, because Allâh's Messenger ﷺ has performed all his Umrahs in Dhul-Qa'dah, except for the Umrah affiliated to the Hajj. Mu'awiyah's cutting of the Prophet's ﷺ hair could have been during the event of the Umrah of Al-Ji'rranah, which was performed in Dhul-Qa'dah as is unanimously agreed upon. In Dhul-Hijjah, Allâh's Messenger ﷺ performed Hajj, and he had his head shaved in Mina. Hence, in stating the word Dhul-Hijjah, either Mu'awiyah or one who narrated it has erred.
