Hadith text

Narrated Ubaidullah bin Hafs:that `Umar bin Nafi` told him that Nafi`, Maula `Abdullah had heard `Umar saying, "I heard Allah's Apostle forbidding Al-Qaza'." 'Ubaidullah added: I said, "What is Al-Qaza'?" 'Ubaidullah pointed (towards his head) to show us and added, "Nafi` said, 'It is when a boy has his head shaved leaving a tuft of hair here and a tuft of hair there." Ubaidullah pointed towards his forehead and the sides of his head. 'Ubaidullah was asked, "Does this apply to both girls and boys?" He said, "I don't know, but Nafi` said, 'The boy.'" 'Ubaidullah added, "I asked Nafi` again, and he said, 'As for leaving hair on the temples and the back part of the boy's head, there is no harm, but Al-Qaza' is to leave a tuft of hair on his forehead unshaved while there is no hair on the rest of his head, and also to leave hair on either side of his head

Ubaidullah bin Hafs bataate hain ke Umar bin Nafi ne unhein bataya ke Nafi, Abdullah ke Maula, ne Umar ko ye kehte suna, 'Maine Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ko Al-Qaza' se mana karte suna.' Ubaidullah ne aage kaha: Maine pucha, 'Al-Qaza' kya hai?' Ubaidullah ne (apne sar ki taraf) ishara karke humein dikhaaya aur kaha, 'Nafi ne kaha, "Ye tab hota hai jab kisi ladke ka sar mundwa diya jaaye aur yahaan-wahaan baalon ke gutthe chhod diye jaayein."' Ubaidullah ne apni peshaani aur sar ke kinaaron ki taraf ishara kiya. Ubaidullah se pucha gaya, 'Kya ye ladkiyon aur ladkon dono par laagu hota hai?' Unhone kaha, 'Mujhe nahi pata, magar Nafi ne "ladka" kaha.' Ubaidullah ne aage kaha, 'Maine Nafi se dobara pucha, aur unhone kaha, "Jahaan tak kanpat aur sar ke peechhe ke hisse par baal chhodne ki baat hai, ismein koi harj nahi, magar Al-Qaza' ye hai ke ladke ki peshaani par baalon ka ek gutha chhod diya jaaye jabke baaki sar par koi baal na ho, aur sar ke dono taraf bhi baal chhod diye jaayein."'
