Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِمَ ظَاهَرْتَ لِلْمُحَلِّقِينَ ثَلاَثًا وَلِلْمُقَصِّرِينَ وَاحِدَةً قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَشُكُّوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Numayr narrated to us: Yūnus ibn Bukayr narrated to us: Ibn Isḥāq narrated to us: Ibn Abī Najīḥ narrated to us, from Mujāhid, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: It was said, “Messenger of God, why did you invoke blessings for those who shave their heads three times and for those who shorten their hair only once?” He said, “They had no doubts.”
