2 - Chapter on Caring for Hair

4163 - Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Mahri narrated to us, Ibn Wahb informed us, Ibn Abi al-Zinad informed me, from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever has hair, let him honor it."

=============================================

It was also recorded by al-Tirmidhi in "Al-Shama'il al-Muhammadiyyah" (217), and Abu al-Shaykh in "Akhlaq al-Nabi" p. 98, via the route of Abu Ahmad al-Zubayri, with this chain of transmission.

It was also recorded by Ibn Sa'd in his "Tabaqat" 1/399, Abu Ya'la in "Mu'jam Shuyukhih" (141), Abu al-Shaykh in "Akhlaq al-Nabi" 98, and al-Diya' al-Maqdisi in "Al-Mukhtarah" (2669), via the route of Isra'il ibn Yunus al-Sabi'i, from Abdullah ibn al-Mukhtar, with it.

It was also recorded by Abu al-Shaykh, p. 98, via the route of Tahir ibn Abi Ahmad al-Zubayri, from his father, from Ibrahim ibn Tahman, from Husayn ibn Dhakwan al-Mu'allim, from Musa ibn Anas, with it.

(1) Its chain of transmission is good (hasan) on account of Ibn Abi al-Zinad — who is Abd al-Rahman — and Abu Salih: he is Dhakwan al-Samman, and Ibn Wahb: he is Abdullah. Al-Hafiz declared its chain good in "Fath al-Bari" 10/368.

It was also recorded by al-Bayhaqi in "Shu'ab al-Iman" (6455), and in "Al-Adab" (695), via the route of Sa'id ibn Mansur and Dawud ibn Amr, from Ibn Abi al-Zinad, with this chain of transmission.

It was also recorded by al-Tahawi in "Sharh Mushkil al-Athar" (3365), via the route of Dawud ibn Amr, from Ibn Abi al-Zinad, from his father, from al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayrah.

It is corroborated by the hadith of A'ishah recorded by Bahshal in "Tarikh Wasit" p. 242, al-Tahawi in "Sharh al-Mushkil" (3360), and al-Bayhaqi in "Al-Shu'ab" (6456), and al-Hafiz also declared its chain good in "Al-Fath" 10/368.

There is no contradiction between this hadith and the hadith of Abdullah ibn Mughaffal that preceded with the author under number (4159), as Ibn Abd al-Barr indicated at the preceding hadith under number (4161). And as al-Khattabi said at hadith (4160): The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, disapproved of excess in luxury and self-pampering.
