حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِالْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي وَقَدْ عَقَصَ ضَفِرَتَهُ فِي قَفَاهُ فَحَلَّهَا ، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ الْحَسَنُ مُغْضَبًا ، فَقَالَ : أَقْبِلْ عَلَى صَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تَغْضَبْ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " ذَلِكَ كِفْلُ الشَّيْطَانِ " قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ أَبِي رَافِعٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ كَرِهُوا أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ مَعْقُوصٌ شَعْرُهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَعِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى هُوَ : الْقُرَشِيُّ الْمَكِّيُّ وَهُوَ أَخُ وَأَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى .
´Abu Rafi narrated that :` He passed by Al-Hasan bin Ali while he was performing Salat and he had gathered his locks at the back of his head, so he (Abu Rafi) undid them, and Al-Hasan turned to him angrily. He said: "Resume your Salat and do not be angry, for indeed I heard Allah's Messenger (S) saying: 'That is the seat of Ash-Shaitan.'"

Brief Explanation
1؎: But this is for men; for women, there is no harm in performing prayer with their hair braided. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam even exempted women from untying their braids during the ritual bath (ghusl) for major impurity (janabah). If a woman were to untie her braid during prayer, her hair could come out from under her head covering, and if a woman's hair comes out from under her head covering during prayer, her prayer becomes invalid. Moreover, untying the braid at every prayer time and tying it again after prayer would also be troublesome.
