It is narrated from Hazrat Malik bin Rabi’ah that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a supplication: O Allah! Forgive those who shave their heads. The companions said, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! And for those who shorten their hair? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And forgive those who shorten their hair as well. The narrator says that on that day I had shaved my head, and because of this supplication of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I felt more happiness than if I had received red camels or a great number of camels.
