(Book 51, Hadith 7) #36785
Grooming Oneself for Respect

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that it is better to groom oneself than to come with dishevelled hair and beard, as if one were a shaytan.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Ata ibn Yasar told him that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was in the mosque when a man came in with dishevelled hair and beard. The Messenger of Allah. may Allah bless him and grant him peace, motioned with his hand that he should be sent out to groom his hair and beard. The man did so and then returned. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Isn't this better than that one of you should come with his head dishevelled, as if he were a shaytan?"
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّ عَطَاءَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ ثَائِرَ الرَّأْسِ وَاللِّحْيَةِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِيَدِهِ أَنِ اخْرُجْ كَأَنَّهُ يَعْنِي إِصْلاَحَ شَعَرِ رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ فَفَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَلَيْسَ هَذَا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ ثَائِرَ الرَّأْسِ كَأَنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad is teaching us about the importance of grooming ourselves and taking care of our appearance. He was in the mosque when he saw a man with dishevelled hair and beard. He motioned for him to go out and groom himself before returning. The Prophet then said “Isn’t this better than that one of you should come with his head dishevelled, as if he were a shaytan?” This teaches us that we should take care of our appearance in order to show respect for ourselves and others around us. It also shows us how important it is not only to look presentable but also how important it is not to resemble shaytan in any way or form.
