Ibn ‘Umar (radhi Allaahu anhu), one of the companions of the Prophet (Sallalaahu alaihi wa sallam) , related that: “ The Messenger of Allaah (Sallalaahu alaihi wa sallam) ordered [8] us to: trim closely the mustache and to let the beard grow .” [9] Abu Hurayrah (radhi Allaahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (Sallalaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “ Trim closely the mustache, and grow the beards, and oppose the Magians (Persian fireworshippers) .” [10] On one occasion, when the Prophet (Sallalaahu alaihi wa sallam) received two of Kissra’s [11] emissaries, he disliked to look at them when he saw that they were shaven and with grown mustaches. He (Sallalaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Woe to you! Who ordered you to do this? They said: “Our Lord (meaning their Kissra)”. The Messenger of Allaah (Sallalaahu alaihi wa sallam) then said: “But my Rabb (Allaah) ordered me to let my beard grow and to trim my mustache.” [12] The imperative wording in the Prophet’s statement indicates that it is obligatory to comply with the command, and as such, the one who complies will be rewarded and the one who does not is subject to punishment (i.e. as Allaah (Subhanahuwa ta’alaa) wishes). Footnotes : [8] The wording of the command came as, “let grow, spare, let go, and bring to its full extent”. All are in the command form.

[10] Saheeh Muslim, V.1, hadeeth # 501. [11] Kissra: Khosru, a Persian King. Kissra is a designation of the Persian kings in general. [12] The author said that the hadeeth is hasan: “good”.
