Clipping Hair from the Head of Allah's Messenger

SUMMARY: Mu'awiya had clipped some hair from the head of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at al-Marwa.

Ibn Abbas reported that Mu'awiya had said to them: Do you know that I clipped some hair from the head of Allah's Messenger at al- Marwa with the help of a clipper? I said: I do not know it except as it verdict against you.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حُجَيْرٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لِي مُعَاوِيَةُ أَعَلِمْتَ أَنِّي قَصَّرْتُ مِنْ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عِنْدَ الْمَرْوَةِ بِمِشْقَصٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لاَ أَعْلَمُ هَذَا إِلاَّ حُجَّةً عَلَيْكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Mu'awiya clipping some hair from the head of Allah's Messenger at al-Marwa. Al-Marwa is a hill in Makkah and it was a place where people used to go for pilgrimage during Prophet Muhammad's time. The act of clipping hair was known as qassa'a in Arabic and it was done with a clipper. Ibn Abbas reported that when he heard this news he said that he only knew it as a verdict against Mu'awiya. This hadith teaches us to respect and honor Prophet Muhammad by not doing anything disrespectful or dishonorable towards him or his memory.
