It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, and Sayyiduna Uthman continued to permit Tamattu’ until they departed from this world. The first to prohibit it was Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was astonished at his forbidding Hajj Tamattu’, because he himself had narrated to me that he had trimmed his hair with the broad blade of an arrow in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
