Qurʾān Bukhārī Muslim Nasāʾī Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Ibn Mājah Mālik Aḥmad Dārimī Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
ahmad:27202 – Sufyān > Ibrāhīm b. Maysarah > Ibn Qārib from his father

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "O Allah, forgive the ones who shave their heads." A man asked, "What about those who trim their hair?" He replied, "They will have their sins minimized by Sufyan, with his hand." Sufyan said, "And he said, 'as if he is widening his hand.'"

Note: The passage is a conversation that took place between people discussing the forgiveness of those who shave their heads and those who only trim their hair during the pilgrimage.  

أحمد:٢٧٢٠٢ – حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ قَارِبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُحَلِّقِينَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ وَالْمُقَصِّرِينَ؟ قَالَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ وَالْمُقَصِّرِينَ يُقَلِّلُهُ سُفْيَانُ بِيَدِهِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَقَالَ فِي تِيكَ كَأَنَّهُ يُوَسِّعُ يَدَهُ
