Commentary
Imâm Ibn Qayyim has said that the Prophet ﷺ ran his fingers through his beard only occasionally, not regularly. (Zâdul-Ma'âd; p. 68/1) However, there is no proof to support the view that he did it 'only occasionally'. On the contrary, some of the Ahâdîth explicitly enjoin the doing of it, which means that doing it 'consistently' is preferable. And Allâh knows best.
