8ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ الْكِنَانِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَسِيَ أَنْ يُقَصِّرَ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ وَهُوَ حَاجٌّ حَتَّى ارْتَحَلَ مِنْ مِنًى قَالَ مَا يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ يُلْقِيَ شَعْرَهُ إِلاَّ بِمِنًى وَقَالَ فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ لْيَقْضُوا تَفَثَهُمْ قَالَ هُوَ الْحَلْقُ وَمَا فِي جِلْدِ الإِنْسَانِ.
8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaniy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who forgets to do Taqsir (cutting some hair or finger nails and so on) and he is for al-Hajj, until he leaves Mina He (the Imam) said, ’I do not like throwing the hairs in places other than MinaV About the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, . . thereafter they must spruce up themselves . . .’(22:29) he (the Imam) said that it refers to shaving and things on a man’s skin.’”
