Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
bayhaqi:696 – Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū Bakr Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar al-Muzakkī > Abū ʿAbdullāh b. Ibrāhīm al-Būshanjī > al-Nufaylī > Maʿqil b. ʿUbaydullāh > Maymūn b. Mihrān > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the Magi and said, "They grow their beards long and shave their mustaches. So, oppose them." Ibn Umar used to trim his mustache in such a way that it was as short as a sheep's or a camel's cut.

البيهقي:٦٩٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبُوشَنْجِيُّ ثنا النُّفَيْلِيُّ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَعْقِلِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَجُوسَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُمْ يُوَفِّرُونَ سِبَالَهُمْ وَيَحْلِقُونَ لِحَاهُمْ فَخَالِفُوهُمْ قَالَ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَسْتَعْرِضُ سَبْلَتُهُ فَجَزَّهَا كَمَا تُجَزُّ الشَّاةُ أَوْ يُجَزُّ الْبَعِيرُ

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the Magi and said: 'They trim their mustaches and shave their beards, so differ from them.' Ibn Umar used to trim his mustache as sheep or camels are trimmed."

ابن حبّان:٥٤٧٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ بِحَرَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ
