حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أُخْبِرْتُ عَنْ عُثَيْمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ . فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَلْقِ عَنْكَ شَعْرَ الْكُفْرِ " . يَقُولُ احْلِقْ . قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي آخَرُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لآخَرَ مَعَهُ " أَلْقِ عَنْكَ شَعْرَ الْكُفْرِ وَاخْتَتِنْ " .
Kulaib Narrated from:
'Uthaim b. Kulaib reported from his father (Kuthair) on the authority of his grandfather (Kulaib) that he came to the Prophet (ﷺ): I have embraced Islam. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: Remove from yourself the hair that grew during of unbelief, saying "shave them". He further says that another person (other than the grandfather of 'Uthaim) reported to him that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to another person who accompanied him: Remove from yourself the hair that grew during the period of unbelief and get yourself circumcised.
[1] According to the author of ‘Awn Al-Ma‘būd the speaker here is the father of ‘Uthaim, but it is also possible it was Ibn Juraij, since he did not name the person he heard it from, saying only: “I was informed from ‘Uthaim” meaning: “Someone told me, reporting it from ‘Uthaim.” And it is said by some of the Huffāz that the person Ibn Juraij heard this from was Ibrāhīm bin Muḥammad bin Abī Yahyā.[2] They say the meaning of “the hair of disbelief,” is a specific area of their hair which their people wore as a trait to distinguish them, never cutting it, and that the order was to shave that off, or to shave all of the hair because of that.Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 356In-book reference : Book 1, Hadith 356English translation : Book 1, Hadith 356
