عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهُ رَأَى مُعَاوِيَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَفِي يَدِهِ قُصَّةٌ مِنْ شَعَرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا عُذِّبَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ حِينَ اتَّخَذَتْ هَذِهِ نِسَاؤُهُمْ
It is narrated from Humaid bin Abdur Rahman, he says: I saw Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) delivering a sermon on the pulpit, while he had a tuft of hair in his hand. He said: O people of Madinah! Where are your scholars? I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbidding this. Also, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Children of Israel were punished when their women began to use such tufts of hair.
