It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "When I combed the hair of the blessed head of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I would part it from the middle of his (peace and blessings be upon him) head (the crown, yafukh), and let the hair of his (peace and blessings be upon him) forelock hang down between his two eyes." Allah knows best whether this was because of that saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "We do not gather up our hair or our clothing (during prayer)", or whether it was a particular mark by which he (peace and blessings be upon him) was recognised. And Muhammad bin Ja'far bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him), who was a Muslim jurist, told me: "It is one of the marks of the Prophets, which, out of all people, the Christians have adopted (as a tradition)."
