“What has been Related Concerning the Prophet’s Haircare.” - The Fitnah of Selfie-Amazement


…

al-Tirmidhī pens the chapter: “What has been Related Concerning the Prophet’s Haircare.” In it he collects the narration of ‘Abd Allāh b. Mughaffal (رَضِيَ اللهُ عنهُ) who said:

«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ التَّرَجُّلِ إِلَّا غِبًّا»

“Allah’s Messenger  prohibited the combing of the hair, unless it is done occasionally.”3

Regarding the interpretation of this narration, al-Manāwī (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ) states: “What is intended in  the prohibition is constant attention and focus upon it, because this is excessiveness in beautification.”4

3 Authenticated by Shaykh al-Albānī in Mukhtaṣir al-Shamā’il al-Tirmidhī (p. 37)

4 Fayḍ al-Qadīr  (no. 9377)
