912. Anas bin Mālik narrated: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stoned the Jamrah, he slaughtered his sacrifice, then he presented the barber the right side (of his head) and he shaved it, then he gave (the hair) to Abū Ṭalḥah. Then he presented the left side to him and he shaved it. Then he said: 'Divide it (the hair) among the people.'" Ibn Abī 'Umar narrated to us: Sufyān bin 'Uyainah narrated similar to us, from Hishām. (Abū 'Eisā said:) This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan (Ṣaḥīh).
٩١٢ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «لَمَّا رَمَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجَمْرَةَ نَحَرَ نُسُكَهُ»، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَ الْحَالِقَ شِقَّهُ الْأَيْمَنَ فَحَلَقَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهُ شِقَّهُ الْأَيْسَرَ فَحَلَقَهُ فَقَالَ: اقْسِمْهُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ. ٩١٢ (م) - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ نَحْوَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.

According to Imām Nawawī, and in view of many other scholars, shaving the head should be started from the right side, and it is Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, Imām Abū Hanīfah is of the opinion that shaving should be started from the left side. (Ṣaḥīh Muslim/Nawawī v.1. p.421). According to 'Allamah Ibn 'Ābidīn, Imām Abū Hanīfah changed his view after knowing the narration. If a barber shaves the head while standing behind a person, both of them will have their right side on the right, but if the barber shaves the head while standing in front of the person, the barber's right will be the persons' left. (Ma'ārif As-Sunan v. 6. p.275.)
