[Machine] He had a horned ram, then he slaughtered it on the Day of Sacrifice in the public praying area. Nafi' said, "I did the same." Then he carried the ram to Abdullah and he shaved his head when he slaughtered the ram. He was sick and did not attend the celebration with the people. Nafi' said, "Abdullah bin Umar used to say that shaving the head is not obligatory for the one who sacrifices if he is not performing Hajj, and Abdullah bin Umar did it."  

البيهقي:١٩١٩٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ ضَحَّى مَرَّةً بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ

لَهُ كَبْشًا فَحِيلًا أَقْرَنَ ثُمَّ أَذْبَحَهُ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى فِي مُصَلَّى النَّاسِ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَفَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ حَمَلَ الْكَبْشَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ فَحَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ حِينَ ذَبَحَ الْكَبْشَ وَكَانَ مَرِيضًا لَمْ يَشْهَدِ الْعِيدَ مَعَ النَّاسِ قَالَ نَافِعٌ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ حِلَاقُ الرَّأْسِ بِوَاجِبٍ عَلَى مَنْ ضَحَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَحُجَّ وَقَدْ فَعَلَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that one time Abdullah ibn Umar wanted to sacrifice an animal at Madina. Nafi said, "He told me to buy him an excellent horned ram, then to sacrifice it on the Day of Sacrifice in the place where the people prayed." Nafi continued, "I did so and when the ram was sacrificed, it was carried to Abdullah ibn Umar who shaved his head. He was ill, and did not attend the Id with the people." Nafi added, "Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, 'Shaving the head is not obligatory for someone who sacrifices an animal.' Ibn Umar would do so however."  

مالك:٢٣-٣ – حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ضَحَّى مَرَّةً بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَأَمَرَنِي

أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ لَهُ كَبْشًا فَحِيلاً أَقْرَنَ ثُمَّ أَذْبَحَهُ يَوْمَ الأَضْحَى فِي مُصَلَّى النَّاسِ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَفَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ حُمِلَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فَحَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ حِينَ ذُبِحَ الْكَبْشُ وَكَانَ مَرِيضًا لَمْ يَشْهَدِ الْعِيدَ مَعَ النَّاسِ قَالَ نَافِعٌ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ حِلاَقُ الرَّأْسِ بِوَاجِبٍ عَلَى مَنْ ضَحَّى وَقَدْ فَعَلَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ
