Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated: "O Allah! Forgive those who have their heads shaved!" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted, "And (pray) for those who have their hair cut short as well." But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said, "O Allah! Forgive those who have their heads shaved." Then the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted, "And for those who have their hair cut short as well!" The third time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "And forgive those who have their hair cut short as well."
