The Companions’ Delay in Shaving Their Heads on the Day of al-Hudaybiyyah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it true that it is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in the Treaty of al-Hudaybiyyah, ordered the Companions to shave their heads, but they delayed, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry with them for that?

Answer:
Yes, they delayed, perhaps it would become clear or a revelation would come down. Perhaps a revelation would come down that they do not shave, and that they complete their 'Umrah. Yes. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out and shaved his head, and they were watching, they rushed to shave, until some of them nearly killed others. Yes.
