Whenever Rasool-Allah -saww lengthened his -saww hair...
In Rauzat al-Vaezeen it is narrated that the Rasool Allah -saww said: “A believer’s house is simple, his food is little, his hair is not styled, his clothes are simple, but he is humble and does not exchange his ‘السلامة’ peace with anything.” [7] حدّثنا الفقيه موفّق الدين الحسن بن محمّد الصوفي السروي عن شيوخه عن النبيّ صلي الله عليه و اله و سلم أنّه قال: أجيعوا أكبادكم، وأعرو صوركم، وأشعثوا رؤوسكم، وصُبّوا عليكم جَلباب الحُزن، وجالسوا الناس قليلاً ومع الله كثيراً، لعلّكم ترون الحقّ بقلوبكم.
Al-Hassan ibn Muhammad al-Soofi al-Sarvi quoted on the authority of his teachers that Rasool Allah -saww said: “Keep yourself hungry, your faces uncovered, your hair not made up , and be grievous. Associate less with the people and more with Allah -azwj . Then you may see ‘Haq’ through your hearts.” [8] Long hair or Short hair?
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Amro Bin Ibrahim, from Khalaf Bin Hammad, from Amro Bin Sabit, I (the narrator) asked from Abu Abd Allah -asws , ‘They (people) are reporting that the parting (hair styling) is from the Sunnah’. He -asws said: ‘From the Sunnah?’ I said, ‘They are alleging that the Prophet -saww parted’. He -asws said: ‘The Prophet -saww did not part, nor did the Prophets -as beforehand keep (long) hair’.
