And from the book ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ – ‘From Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Someone came to the Prophet -saww with a young boy for him -saww to supplicate for him, and there were tufts of hair for him. He ‑saww refused to supplicate for him and instructed with shaving off his head’’. [4] وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: أَلْقُوا الشَّعْرَ عَنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ يُحَسِّنُ. And from Al-Sadiq -asws having said: ‘Cast (comb) the hair away from you, for it is better’’.

[5] وَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللِّبَاسِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ هَارُونَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَفْرُقُ شَعْرَهُ And from ‘Kitab Al Libaas’ – from Ayoub Bin Haroun who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah -asws , ‘Did Rasool-Allah -saww used to part his -saww hair?’ قَالَ لَا وَ كَانَ شَعْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا طَالَ طَالَ إِلَى شَحْمَةِ أُذُنِهِ. He -asws said: ‘No, and the hair of Rasool-Allah -saww , when he -saww grew it long, it was long up to his -saww ear lobes’’.

[6] عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّهُمْ يَرْوُونَ أَنَّ الْفَرْقَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ From Amro Bin Sabit, ‘From Al-Sadiq -asws , he (the narrator) said, ‘They are reporting that the parting (of the hair) is from the Sunnah’. قَالَ مَا هُوَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ He -asws said: ‘It is not from the Sunnah’. I said, ‘They are claiming that the Prophet -saww parted (his -saww hair)!’ قَالَ مَا فَرَقَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ مَا كَانَتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ تُمْسِكُ الشَّعْرَ.

He -asws said: ‘The Prophet -saww did not part (his -saww hair), and the Prophets -as did not used to withhold (keep long) hair’’. [7] وَ عَنْهُ ع قَالَ: مَنِ اتَّخَذَ شَعْراً فَلَمْ يَفْرُقْهُ فَرَقَهُ اللَّهُ بِمِنْشَارٍ مِنْ نَارٍ وَ كَانَ شَعْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَفْرَةً لَمْ يَبْلُغِ الْفَرْقَ.

[8] السرائر مِنْ جَامِعِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ الشَّعْرَ عَلَى الرَّأْسِ إِذَا طَالَ أَضْعَفَ الْبَصَرَ وَ ذَهَبَ بِضَوْءِ نُورِهِ وَ طَمُّ الشَّعْرِ يُجَلِّي الْبَصَرَ وَ يَزِيدُ فِي ضَوْءِ نُورِهِ‏.
