The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ الْحَلْقُ إِنَّمَا عَلَى النِّسَاءِ التَّقْصِيرُ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ
Ibn ‘Abbas reported God’s messenger as saying, “Shaving is not a duty laid on women ; only clipping the hair is incumbent on them.
Abu Dawud and Darimi transmitted it.
