Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1305d
This Hadith gives another detailed report from Anas ibn Malik. After the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم threw pebbles at the Jamra and sacrificed his animal, he turned the right side of his head toward the barber. The barber shaved it, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم gave it to Abu Talha al-Ansari. Then the left side was shaved, and that was also given to Abu Talha. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told him to distribute it among the people.
