أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شَرِيکٌ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الْأَحْلَافِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَدَخَلَتْ أَيَّامُ الْعَشْرِ فَلَا يَأْخُذْ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ وَلَا أَظْفَارِهِ فَذَکَرْتُهُ لِعِکْرِمَةَ فَقَالَ أَلَا يَعْتَزِلُ النِّسَائَ وَالطِّيبَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4378
It was narrated that Saeed bin Al-Mi said: “Whoever wants to offer a sacrifice when Dhul Hijjah begins, let him not remove anything from his hair or nails.” I (the narrator) mentioned that to ‘Ikrirnah, and he said: “Should he not also keep away from women and perfume?” (Sahih)
