The Prophet (saas) attached the greatest importance to cleanli-
ness, and therefore, to his hair and beard too. It is reported in some
sources that he always carried with him a comb, mirror, miswak (a
small natural toothbrush), tooth-pick, scissors and a kuhl bottle. 88
The Prophet (saas) advised his companions to do the same, and said:
"He who has hair should honor it ." Some other reports that have
89
reached us of his hair and beard are:
Hassan (ra) said:
"He had a thick, dense beard." 90
Anas bin Malik (ra) reports:
"Sayyidina Rasulullah (saas) often rubbed oil in his
head…" 91
Simak bin Harb (ra) reports:
"Jaabir bin Samurah (ra) was asked a question regarding
the white hair of Rasulullah He replied: 'When Rasulullah
(saas) oiled his hair, it (white hair) did not show. When he
did not oil it, it showed'." 92
