'Abdullah reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) got his head shaved (after slaughtering the sacrificial animal on the 10th of Dhu'l-Hijja), and so did a group of Companions, while some of them got their hair clipped. Abdullah said: Allaah's Messenger (may peace'be upon him) observed once or twice:" May Allaah have mercy upon those who get their heads shaved." And he also said:" Upon those too who got their hair clipped."
