3. The Mubarak Hair Of Rasoolullah

【1】

Anas R.A. reported: "The hair of Rasulullah (ﷺ) reached till half of his ears". Ayesha R.A. reported: Rasulullah (ﷺ) and I bathed in one utensil, and the mubarak hair of Rasulullah (ﷺ) was longer than those that reached the ear lobes, and were less than those that reached the shoulders". (It means that they were not very long nor were they short, but of a medium length). Baraa bin Aazib R.A. reports: "Rasulullah (ﷺ) was of average hight, and the portion between the two shoulders was wide. His hair was till his ear lobes". Qataadah bin Da'aamah As-Sadusi relates: "I asked Anas R.A., 'How was the hair of Rasulullah (ﷺ)?'. He replied: 'It was not very twisted, nor very straight. It had a slight twist and was a bit curled, and reached till his ear-lobes'". Umme Haani bint Abi Taalib R.A. says: "Rasulullah (ﷺ) came to Makkah once after the hijrah. His mubarak hair had four plaits". It is reported from Anas R.A. that the hair of Sayyidina Rasulullah (ﷺ) reached till the middle of the ears. Ibne Abbas R.A. says: "Rasulullah (ﷺ) used to leave his hair the way it naturally was, without making a path in the hair (parting hair). The reason being that the mushrikeen (polytheists) used to make a path in their hair, and the Ahlul Kitaab (People of the Book) did not do so. In the early periods Rasulullah (ﷺ) preferred to follow the Ahlul Kitaab, rather than others, in matters where no command had came from Allah. Later this was abrogated, and Rasulullah (ﷺ) began apposing the ways of the Ahlul Kitaab after this". Umme Haani R.A. reports: "I saw Rasulullah (ﷺ) with four side locks (on his hair)".Apparently this is the same hadith as has been quoted earlier.
