حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَمَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، - الْمَعْنَى - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ لَهُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنِّي قَصَّرْتُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمِشْقَصِ أَعْرَابِيٍّ عَلَى الْمَرْوَةِ - زَادَ الْحَسَنُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ - لِحَجَّتِهِ .

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1803
This hadith is another report about clipping the hair of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم at al-Marwah. Mu’awiyah told Ibn Abbas that he clipped the Prophet’s hair with a broad iron arrowhead. One version adds that this happened during his Hajj. The core topic is hair clipping in Hajj, especially at Marwah. People may search for it as clipping hair after Umrah hadith, hair cutting in Hajj, or Mu’awiyah clipped the Prophet’s hair. The hadith does not give a long explanation, so the safest reading is to stay with what it says: a specific act of clipping took place at Marwah, and one narration connects it to the Prophet’s Hajj.
What we learn from this hadith
- The hadith records hair clipping as part of the pilgrimage rites.
- Al-Marwah is mentioned as the place where the clipping occurred.
- The narration gives a specific witness report from Mu’awiyah.
