Hadith 8224

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ كَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَفْرُقُونَ رُءُوسَهُمْ وَكَانَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ يَسْدِلُونَ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَشْعَارَهُمْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّ وَيُعْجِبُهُ مُوَافَقَةُ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي بَعْضِ مَا لَمْ يُؤْمَرْ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِيمَا لَمْ يُؤْمَرْ فِيهِ فَسَدَلَ نَاصِيَتَهُ ثُمَّ فَرَقَ بَعْدُ
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the polytheists used to part their hair, and the People of the Book used to leave their hair without parting it. Until a new and specific command was given to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he preferred to conform to the People of the Book. Therefore, in the beginning, he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to leave his hair on his forehead, then he started parting his hair.
