[Machine] Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan ibn Harb took a lock of hair from the Prophet's head during the ten days of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, using a pair of scissors, while he was in a state of Ihram (pilgrim sanctity), and people disapproved of that.  

أحمد:١٦٨٣٦حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا قَيْسٌ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ

أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حَرْبٍ أَخَذَ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ يَعْنِي شَعَرَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي أَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ بِمِشْقَصٍ مَعِي وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ وَالنَّاسُ يُنْكِرُونَ ذَلِكَ
