عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال: رأى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صبيًّا قد حُلِق بعض شعر رأسه وترك بعضه، فنهاهم عن ذلك، وقال: «احلقوه كله، أو اتركوه كله».

“Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) saw a boy who had part of his head shaved and part left unshaven, so he forbade them from doing this, and said: "Shave it all or leave it all."”

Explanation
