وَحَدَّثَنِي أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1302b
This short Hadith states that a similar report is narrated from Abu Huraira. The Arabic wording says it is “with the meaning” of the earlier report from Abu Huraira, which is about the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم supplication for those who shaved their heads and those who clipped their hair. The value of this narration is in confirming the same meaning through another route. It is useful for anyone searching for Abu Huraira hadith about shaving in Hajj, Sahih Muslim 1302b, or hadith about halq and taqsir. The text does not add a new ruling or a new event. Instead, it strengthens the record of the same teaching: shaving received repeated prayer, and clipping was also included.
What we learn from this hadith
- This narration supports the same meaning reported from Abu Huraira.
- The Hadith preserves the topic of shaving and clipping in Hajj.
- A short chain report can still help confirm a known wording.
- No extra detail should be added beyond the similar meaning stated here.
