حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ هَانِئٍ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَكَّةَ وَلَهُ أَرْبَعُ غَدَائِرَ ‏.‏ تَعْنِي ضَفَائِرَ ‏.‏

It wasnarrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said

“The People of the Book used tolet their hair hang down, and the idolaters used to part their hair.The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) liked to be more like the People of theBook. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) let his forelock hang down,thenafter that he parted it.”
