حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَتَى مِنًى فَأَتَى الْجَمْرَةَ فَرَمَاهَا ثُمَّ أَتَى مَنْزِلَهُ بِمِنًى وَنَحَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْحَلاَّقِ " خُذْ " . وَأَشَارَ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ الأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ الأَيْسَرِ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يُعْطِيهِ النَّاسَ .
Anas bin Malik Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Mina; he went to the Jamra and threw pebbles at it, after which he went to his lodging in Mina, and sacrificed the animal. He then called for a barber and, turning his right side to him, let him shave him; after which he turned his left side. He then gave (these hair) to the people.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1305a
This Hadith gives a clear order of actions at Mina. Anas ibn Malik reports that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came to Mina, went to the Jamra and threw pebbles, then went to his lodging and sacrificed the animal. After that, he called for a barber. He turned his right side to the barber first, then the left side. The narration ends by saying he gave the hair to the people. For people searching for hadith about shaving after stoning Jamra, Prophet shaving right side first, or Hajj sacrifice and shaving hadith, this report is very useful. The focus is not a long legal discussion. It simply shows what happened: stoning, sacrifice, shaving, and distribution of the hair.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم threw pebbles at the Jamra before the shaving mentioned here.
- He sacrificed the animal before calling for the barber in this narration.
- He began with the right side before the left side.
- His hair was given to people after it was shaved.
