وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمِ الْمُحَلِّقِينَ». قَالُوا وَالْمُقَصِّرِينَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمِ الْمُحَلِّقِينَ». قَالُوا وَالْمُقَصِّرِينَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «وَالْمُقَصِّرِينَ»

Abdullah ibn Umar (radiyallahu anhu) reported the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) as having observed: O Allah, have mercy upon those who get their heads shaved.

They (the Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, (what about those) who have got their hair clipped? He said: O Allah, have mercy upon those who have got their heads shaved.

They (again) said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), (what about those) who have got their hair clipped? Thereupon he said: (O Allah, have mercy upon those) who have got their hair clipped.

What it means

Shaving the head or shortening the hair is one of the rites of Hajj and ‘Umrah. Shaving, however, is better because by shaving one’s head, one shows his deep humility and obedience to Allah, the Almighty. Hence, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) invoked Allah's mercy three times on those who shave their heads.

When he was reminded of those who shorten their hair, he kept on praying for those who shave their heads. Only in the third or fourth time did he include those who shorten their hair. This implies that shaving is preferable for men. It especially applies to those who are not performing ‘Umrah with the intention of waiting for Hajj, so there is little time for the hair to grow and get shaved in Hajj. In this case, shortening is better, since it will be shaved later.
