Shaving Off Hair and Circumcision for New Muslims

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised a newly converted Muslim to shave off the hair that grew during his period of unbelief and get circumcised.

'Uthaim b. Kulaib reported from his father (Kuthair) on the authority of his grandfather (Kulaib) that he came to the Prophet : I have embraced Islam. The Prophet said to him: Remove from yourself the hair that grew during of unbelief, saying "shave them". He further says that another person (other than the grandfather of 'Uthaim) reported to him that the Prophet said to another person who accompanied him: Remove from yourself the hair that grew during the period of unbelief and get yourself circumcised.
حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أُخْبِرْتُ عَنْ عُثَيْمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ أَلْقِ عَنْكَ شَعْرَ الْكُفْرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَقُولُ احْلِقْ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي آخَرُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ لآخَرَ مَعَهُ ‏"‏ أَلْقِ عَنْكَ شَعْرَ الْكُفْرِ وَاخْتَتِنْ
