قُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حِينَ صُدَّ عَنِ الْبَيْتِ وَ قَدْ كَانَ سَاقَ الْهَدْيَ وَ أَحْرَمَ أَرَاهُ اللَّهُ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَخْبَرَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا فِي كِتَابِهِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لَقَدْ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ الرُّؤْيا بِالْحَقِّ لَتَدْخُلُنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرامَ إِنْ شاءَ اللَّهُ آمِنِينَ مُحَلِّقِينَ رُؤُسَكُمْ وَ مُقَصِّرِينَ لا تَخافُونَ I said to him -asws , ‘How is that?’ He -asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww , when he -saww was turned away from the House (Kabah after the treaty of Hudaybiyya) [1] , and he -saww had ushered the sacrificial animal, and wore the Ihraam , Allah -azwj Showed him -saww the vision in which Allah -azwj Informed him -saww of it in His -azwj Book [48:27] Certainly Allah had Endorsed to His Rasool the vision with the truth: you shall enter the Sacred Masjid, if Allah Pleases, in security, (some) having their heads shaved and (others) having their hair cut, you shall not be fearing .

فَعَلِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَيَفِي لَهُ بِمَا أَرَاهُ فَمِنْ ثَمَّ وَفَّرَ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْرَ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ حِينَ أَحْرَمَ انْتِظَاراً لِحَلْقِهِ فِي الْحَرَمِ حَيْثُ وَعَدَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَمَّا حَلَقَهُ لَمْ يُعِدْ فِي تَوْفِيرِ الشَّعْرِ وَ لَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) . Thus, Rasool-Allah -saww knew that Allah -azwj would be Fulfilling for him -saww with what He ‑azwj had Shown him -saww .

So, from then onwards, he -saww preserved the hair (did not cut) which was upon his -saww head when he -saww was in Ihraam , awaiting to shave it off in the Sanctuary, since Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic has Promised him -saww . So, when he ‑saww did shave it off, (and) did not repeat the preservation of the hair, nor was that from his -saww own self’. [2] وَ مِنْ كِتَابِ نَوَادِرِ الْحِكْمَةِ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: لَا تَحْلِقُوا الصِّبْيَانَ الْقَزَعَ.

And from the book ‘Nawadir Al Hikmah’ – ‘From Al-Sadiq -asws , from his -asws forefathers -asws , from Ali -asws having said: ‘Do not shave the young boys like the broken clouds’’. [3] وَ مِنْ تَهْذِيبِ الْأَحْكَامِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ص بِصَبِيٍّ يَدْعُو لَهُ وَ لَهُ قَنَازِعُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لَهُ وَ أَمَرَ بِحَلْقِ رَأْسِهِ.
