Hadith 286
Hadith.288 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Shaving the head outside of Hajj or 'Umrah is a form of humiliation for your enemies and a source of beauty for you." The meaning of these words the Prophet became apparent, when He described the Khawarij, saying: "They will exit from the religion as an arrow exits from the bow, and their sign is shaving (the head) completely.
288 - وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «حَلْقُ اَلرَّأْسِ فِي غَيْرِ حَجٍّ وَ لاَ عُمْرَةٍ مُثْلَةٌ لِأَعْدَائِكُمْ وَ جَمَالٌ لَكُمْ. وَ مَعْنَى هَذَا فِي قَوْلِ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: حِينَ وَصَفَ اَلْخَوَارِجَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ اَلدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ اَلسَّهْمُ مِنَ اَلرَّمِيَّةِ وَ عَلاَمَتُهُمُ اَلتَّسْبِيدُ.
