حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَاذَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَوْضِعَ شَعْرَةٍ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ لَمْ يَغْسِلْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فُعِلَ بِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ النَّارِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عَلِيٌّ:‏‏‏‏ فَمِنْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثَمَّ عَادَيْتُ رَأْسِي ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ يَجُزُّ شَعْرَهُ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: If anyone who is sexual defiled leaves a spot equal to the breadth of a hair without washing, such and such an amount of Hell-fire will have to be suffered for it. Ali رضی اللہ عنہ said: On that account I treated my head (hair) as an enemy, meaning I cut my hair. He used to cut the hair (of his head).
