[Machine] "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding shaving the head unevenly." So I asked, "What is meant by shaving the head unevenly?" Abdullah pointed towards the front and sides of his head and said, "When a child shaves his head and leaves some hair here and some hair there." Abdullah pointed towards his crown and the sides of his head. It was then asked to Abdullah if this applies to both girls and boys, to which he replied, "I do not know, this is what he said."  

ابن حبّان:٥٥٠٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْجَنَدِيُّ بِمَكَّةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زِيَادٍ اللَّحْجِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قُرَّةَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ نَافِعٍ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ

«سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْقَزَعِ» فَقُلْتُ وَمَا الْقَزَعُ؟ فَأَشَارَ لَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ «إِذَا حَلَقَ الصَّبِيُّ وَتَرَكَ هَاهُنَا شَعْرًا وَهَاهُنَا شَعْرًا» فَأَشَارَ لَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ إِلَى نَاصِيَتِهِ وَجَانِبَيْ رَأْسِهِ فَقِيلَ لِعُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْجَارِيَةُ وَالْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي هَكَذَا قَالَ

that ʿUmar bin Nafiʿ told him that Nafiʿ, Maula ʿAbdullah had heard ʿUmar saying, "I heard Allah's Apostle forbidding Al-Qaza'." 'Ubaidullah added: I said, "What is Al-Qaza'?" 'Ubaidullah pointed (towards his head) to show us and added, "Nafiʿ said, 'It is when a boy has his head shaved leaving a tuft of hair here and a tuft of hair there." Ubaidullah pointed towards his forehead and the sides of his head. 'Ubaidullah was asked, "Does this apply to both girls and boys?" He said, "I don't know, but Nafiʿ said, 'The boy.'" 'Ubaidullah added, "I asked Nafiʿ again, and he said, 'As for leaving hair on the temples and the back part of the boy's head, there is no harm, but Al-Qaza' is to leave a tuft of hair on his forehead unshaved while there is no hair on the rest of his head, and also to leave hair on either side of his head.'"  

البخاري:٥٩٢٠ – حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْلَدٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَفْصٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ نَافِعٍ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْقَزَعِ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْقَزَعُ فَأَشَارَ لَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِذَا حَلَقَ الصَّبِيَّ وَتَرَكَ هَا هُنَا شَعَرَةً وَهَا هُنَا وَهَا هُنَا فَأَشَارَ لَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ إِلَى نَاصِيَتِهِ وَجَانِبَىْ رَأْسِهِ قِيلَ لِعُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ فَالْجَارِيَةُ وَالْغُلاَمُ قَالَ لاَ أَدْرِي هَكَذَا قَالَ الصَّبِيِّ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ وَعَاوَدْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا الْقُصَّةُ وَالْقَفَا لِلْغُلاَمِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِهِمَا وَلَكِنَّ الْقَزَعَ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ شَعَرٌ وَلَيْسَ فِي رَأْسِهِ غَيْرُهُ وَكَذَلِكَ شَقُّ رَأْسِهِ هَذَا وَهَذَا
