Sunan Abi Dawud 1981 (Book 11, Hadith 261) #22273
Distributing Hair of the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) distributed the hair he shaved off from his head to those around him, and gave it to Abu Talhah.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Messenger of Allah threw pebbles at the last Jamrah (Jamrat al-'Aqabah) on the day of sacrifice. He then returned to his lodging at Mina. He called for a sacrificial animal which he slaughtered. He then called for a barber. He held the right side of his head and shaved it. He then began to distribute among those who were around him one or two hair each. He then held the left side of his head and shaved it. Again he said: Is Abu Talhah here ? He then gave it (the hair shaved off) to Abu Talhah.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ بِمِنًى فَدَعَا بِذِبْحٍ فَذُبِحَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِالْحَلاَّقِ فَأَخَذَ بِشِقِّ رَأْسِهِ الأَيْمَنِ فَحَلَقَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَقْسِمُ بَيْنَ مَنْ يَلِيهِ الشَّعْرَةَ وَالشَّعْرَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِشِقِّ رَأْسِهِ الأَيْسَرِ فَحَلَقَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ هَا هُنَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's actions on the day of sacrifice. He threw pebbles at Jamrah, then slaughtered a sacrificial animal and called for a barber. He held both sides of his head and shaved it off, then distributed some of his hair among those around him. He asked if Abu Talhah was present and gave him some of his hair as well. This hadith teaches us that we should be generous with what we have, even if it is something small like a few strands of hair. We should also be mindful to give special attention to our friends when distributing gifts or favors so that no one feels left out or neglected.
