Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The result of Satan's circulation within the human body manifests in the form of doubts, whisperings (waswasah), and disobedience to Allah Ta'ala. The only means of protection from his tribulations is, along with faith (iman) and righteous deeds (amal salih), to engage abundantly in the remembrance (dhikr) of Allah. Otherwise, it is very difficult to be safe from his attacks, and all of this is according to the decree (qadar) and will (mashiyyah) of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
This hadith indicates that a woman's hair should be divided into three braids, with two placed on either side of the head and one brought forward.
However, the narration in Sahih al-Bukhari establishes that all three braids of the Prophet's (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) other daughter were placed behind.
Therefore, according to Imam Shafi'i rahimahullah and Imam Ahmad rahimahullah, all three braids should be placed behind. According to Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah, the Hanafi scholars hold that the hair should be left loose and spread both in front and behind, and according to Imam 'Ayni, two braids should be made and placed on the chest in front.
Both of these latter opinions are explicitly contrary to the hadith.
