Sayyiduna Mu’ammar bin Abdullah ‘Adawi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: On the occasion of the Farewell Hajj, I used to prepare the saddle of the camel of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). One night, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Mu’ammar! Tonight I found the straps of the saddle loose. I said: By the One Who has sent you with the truth, I had fastened them as before, but perhaps someone, out of jealousy for my position with you, has loosened them so that you may appoint another servant in my place. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Beware! I am not going to do such a thing. Then, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered his sacrifice at Mina, he ordered me to shave his head. So I took the razor and stood by the head of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at my face and said: Mu’ammar! (How great is your status that) the Messenger of Allah has made you stand by his earlobe and the razor is in your hand. I said: By Allah! O Messenger of Allah! This is a blessing and favor of Allah upon me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, indeed, I will maintain this honor for you. Then I shaved the head of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
