hair of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to hang near his shoulders. Abu Ishaq said, "I heard him relate it more than once. He always laughed when he related it."

hang down to the earlobes.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Today I saw myself in a dream near the Ka`ba. I saw a whitish brown man,
the handsomest of all brown men you might ever see. He had the most beautiful Limma (hair hanging
down to the earlobes) you might ever see. He had combed it and it was dripping water; and he was
performing the Tawaf around the Ka`ba leaning on two men or on the shoulders of two men. l asked,
"Who is this?" It was said. "Messiah, the son of Mary." Suddenly I saw a curly-haired man, blind in
the right eye which looked like a protruding out grape. I asked, "Who is this?" It was said, "He is
Masiah Ad-Dajjal."

Apostle forbidding Al-Qaza'." 'Ubaidullah added: I said, "What is Al-Qaza'?" 'Ubaidullah pointed
(towards his head) to show us and added, "Nafi` said, 'It is when a boy has his head shaved leaving a
tuft of hair here and a tuft of hair there." Ubaidullah pointed towards his forehead and the sides of his
head. 'Ubaidullah was asked, "Does this apply to both girls and boys?" He said, "I don't know, but
Nafi` said, 'The boy.'" 'Ubaidullah added, "I asked Nafi` again, and he said, 'As for leaving hair on
the temples and the back part of the boy's head, there is no harm, but Al-Qaza' is to leave a tuft of hair
on his forehead unshaved while there is no hair on the rest of his head, and also to leave hair on either
side of his head.'"

Me. and I shall reward (the fasting person) for it.' Verily, the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is
better to Allah than the smell of musk."
