"عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ الحُدَيْبيَة: يَرْحَمُ الله المُحَلِّقينَ، قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ الله، وَالمُقَصِّرِينَ؟ قَالَ: يَرْحَمُ الله المُحَلِّقِينً ثَلاثا، قَالُوا: وَالمُقَصِّرِينَ يَا رَسُولَ الله، قَالَ: وَالمُقَصِّرينَ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ الله، مَا بَالُ المُحَلِّقِينَ ظَاهَرْتَ لَهُمُ التَّرَحُّمَ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَشُكُّوا".
