Tag: Q n A, Bukhari

I asked Anas, “Did the Prophet (ﷺ) dye his hair?” Anas replied, “The Prophet (ﷺ) did not have except a few
grey hairs.”

Anas was asked whether the Prophet (ﷺ) used a a hair dye or not. He replied, “The Prophet (ﷺ) did not have enough grey hair to dye, (such that) if I wanted to count the fading hairs in his beard (I could have).”

`Uthman bin `Abdullah bin Mauhab said, “My people sent me with a bowl of water to Um Salama.”
Isra’il approximated three fingers (‘indicating the small size of the container in which there was some
hair of the Prophet. `Uthman added, “If any person suffered from evil eye or some other disease, he
would send a vessel (containing water) to Um Salama. I looked into the container (that held the hair
of the Prophet) and saw a few red hairs in it,”

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying. “Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra: circumcision, shaving the
pubic hair, cutting the moustaches short, clipping the nails, and depilating the hair of the armpits.”

Ibn `Umar said, The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘Do the opposite of what the pagans do. Keep the beards and cut the
moustaches short.’ Whenever Ibn `Umar performed the Hajj or `Umra, he used to hold his beard with
his hand and cut whatever remained outside his hold.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Cut the moustaches short and leave the beard (as it is).

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “To get the moustaches cut ‘short is characteristic of the Fitra.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra: circumcision, shaving the
pubic region, clipping the nails and cutting the moustaches short.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “To shave the pubic hair. to clip the nails and to cut the moustaches short, are
characteristics of the Fitra.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those
women who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of men.
