malik:20-203Yaḥyá > Mālik > Nāfiʿ > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar > ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar that Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Someone who puts plaits in his hair should shave his head, and do not plait your hair in such a way that it seems you have matted it."  

مالك:٢٠-٢٠٣حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ

قَالَ مَنْ ضَفَرَ رَأْسَهُ فَلْيَحْلِقْ وَلاَ تَشَبَّهُوا بِالتَّلْبِيدِ
