[^2] - Quran, Baqarah, [^69]: [^3] - Ibid, Nisa, [^24]: [^4] - Taqsir means shortening one's hair, beard or nail. [^5] - in this tradition, the narrators have omitted the words exchanged between Uthman, the third caliph and Imam Ali (a.s) or mentioned them vaguely.

They have not mentioned Imam Ali's answer to Uthman's words. According to some traditions, Uthman said something to Imam Ali (a.s). [^6] - Musnad Ahmad, vol. 1, p. 156 and Musnad Ali bin Abi Talib, tradition no. [^758]: [^7] - Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, p. [^569]: Muslim has also narrated a similar tradition. He quoting Musayyab says: Sa'id b.

al-Musayyab reported that 'Ali and 'Uthman met at 'Usfan; and Uthman used to forbid (people) from performing Tamattu' and 'Umra (during the period of Hajj), whereupon 'Ali said: What is your opinion about a matter which the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) did but you forbid it? Thereupon Uthman said: You leave us alone, whereupon he ('Ali) said: I cannot leave you alone. When 'Ali saw this, he put on Ihram for both of them together (both for Hajj and 'Umra).

(Sahih Muslim, tradition, no. 1223, and Musnad Ahmad, vol. 1, p. 220). [^8] - Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, p. 567, tradition, no. 1488 and Musnad Ahmad, vol. 1, p. [^153]: Muslim has also reported it: 'Abdullah b. Shaqiq reported that 'Uthman used to forbid Tamattu', whereas 'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) ordered [people] to do it.

'Uthman said a word to 'Ali, but 'Ali said: You know that we used to perform Tamattu' with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) , whereupon he said: It is right, but we entertained fear. This hadith has been narrated by Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters. (Muslim, Book 7, Number 2815). [^9] - Musnad Ahmad, vol. 1, p. 554, tradition, no. [^3111]: Bukhari have also narrated something pertaining to the issue under discussion.

See: a) Abu Jamra narrates:I asked Ibn Abbas about Hajj-at-Tamattu'. He ordered me to perform it. I asked him about the Hadi (sacrifice). He said, "You have to slaughter a camel, a cow or a sheep, or you may share the Hadi with the others." It seemed that some people disliked it (Hajj-at-Tamattu).
