أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلاَ يَقْلِمْ مِنْ أَظْفَارِهِ وَلاَ يَحْلِقْ شَيْئًا مِنْ شَعْرِهِ فِي عَشْرِ الأُوَلِ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ " .
'Amr bin Muslim Narrated from:
Ibn Al-Musayyab told me that Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet told him that the Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever wants to offer a sacrifice, let him not remove anything from his nails or cut his hair for the first ten days Dhul-Jijjah.'

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 4362
This hadith explains the qurbani hair and nails rule during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. Umm Salamah reports that the Messenger of Allah instructed the person who wants to offer a sacrifice not to trim the nails or cut any hair during those days. The text focuses on the intended sacrificer and names the period directly. It does not add other restrictions, so the explanation should stay with hair and nails. The phrase “first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah” helps readers understand when the instruction applies. It also shows that preparing for udhiyah includes more than arranging the animal; it includes observing the stated personal practice until the time for sacrifice arrives.
What we learn from this hadith
- The instruction applies to the person who wants to offer a sacrifice.
- During the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, that person should not trim nails.
- The same person should not cut hair during the stated period.
