لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) أَنْ يُقَصِّرَ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ لِلْعُمْرَةِ أَرَادَ الْحَجَّامُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ جَوَانِبِ الرَّأْسِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْدَأْ بِالنَّاصِيَةِ فَبَدَأَ بِهَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Aslam who said, ‘When Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, meaning the son<sup>asws</sup> of Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> wanted to shorten from his<sup>asws</sup> hair for the Umra, the barber wanted to take from the sides of his<sup>asws</sup> head, but he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Begin with the forelocks’. So he began by it’.
