أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حُجَيْرٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَعَلِمْتَ أَنِّي قَصَّرْتُ مِنْ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عِنْدَ الْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ لاَ . يَقُولُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هَذَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَنْهَى النَّاسَ عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ وَقَدْ تَمَتَّعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
Tawus Narrated from:
Mu'awiyah said to Ibn 'Abbas: "do you know that I cut the hair of the Messenger of Allah at Al-Marwah?" He said: "No." Ibn 'Abbas said: "This Mu'awiyah forbids the people to perform Tamattu' but the Prophet performed Tamattue."

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2737
This Hadith records a statement involving Mu'awiyah and Ibn Abbas. Mu'awiyah asked Ibn Abbas whether he knew that he had cut the hair of the Messenger of Allah at Al-Marwah. Ibn Abbas said no. Then Ibn Abbas commented that Mu'awiyah forbade the people from Tamattu, while the Prophet had performed Tamattu. The Hadith is useful for readers searching Ibn Abbas Tamattu hadith, Mu'awiyah forbids Tamattu, and the Prophet performed Tamattu. The text itself does not give a full legal debate. It gives a focused point: Ibn Abbas contrasts a later prohibition with the action of the Prophet as reported in the narration.
