Sahih Muslim 1301a (Book 15, Hadith 348) #10283
The Significance of Shaving and Clipping Hair After Sacrifice

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraging people to shave their heads or clip their hair after sacrificing an animal on the 10th of Dhu'l-Hijja.

'Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger got his head shaved (after slaughtering the sacrificial animal on the 10th of Dhu'l-Hijja), and so did a group of Companions, while some of them got their hair clipped. Abdullah said: Allah's Messenger (may peace'be upon him) observed once or twice:" May Allah have mercy upon those who get their heads shaved". And he also said:" Upon those too who got their hair clipped".
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَحَلَقَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَقَصَّرَ بَعْضُهُمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ الْمُحَلِّقِينَ - مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ - وَالْمُقَصِّرِينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of shaving or clipping one's hair after sacrificing an animal on the 10th of Dhu'l-Hijja, which is known as Qurbani in Arabic. It was reported by Abdullah ibn Umar that Allah's Messenger (PBUH) got his head shaved and a group of Companions did too, while some got their hair clipped. He then said "May Allah have mercy upon those who get their heads shaved" and "upon those too who got their hair clipped". This shows us that both acts are equally important in showing our devotion to Allah SWT. It also teaches us to be generous with our time and resources for the sake of pleasing Allah SWT, as well as being mindful of others who may not have access to such resources.
