Virtues, description, and recitation method of PROHIBITION ON SHAVING BEARD as recorded in Shia traditions.
PROHIBITION ON SHAVING BEARD
The Holy Prophet (s) is reported to have said,
"Trim the
mustache and keep the beard unshaved. Do not assimilate
yourselves to the Magians and the Jews."
He (s) is also reported to have said, "The Magians have
shaved their beards and left their mustaches unshaved. As
for us, we shave the mustaches and keep the beards
unshaved."
When the Holy Prophet (s) sent messages to the kings of his
time, calling them to Islam, Khosrow the Persian king wrote a
message to Bazan the governor of Yemen asking him to
summon the Holy Prophet (s)! However, the Persian king
sent as messengers to the Holy Prophet (s) his clerk
Banawayh and another man named Kharkhask. When they
presented themselves before the Holy Prophet (s), he turned
his face away and hated looking at them directly because
they had shaved their beards and kept their mustaches
unshaved. He (s) then said to them, "Woe be to you! Who
ordered you to do so?" "Our lord did," they said, referring to
Khosrow their king. The Holy Prophet (s) then said, "However,
my Lord has ordered me to keep my beard and trim my
mustache."
