5057. It was narrated that Humaid bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān Al-Himyārī said: "I met a man who accompanied the Prophet ﷺ as Abū Hurairah accompanied him for four years, who said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade us from combing our hair every day.'"[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)
5054 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ الْأَوْدِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ قَالَ: لَقِيتُ رَجُلًا صَحِبَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا صَحِبَهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَرْبَعَ سِنِينَ، قَالَ: «نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَمْتَشِطَ أَحَدُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ»

1. 'Like Abū Hurairah': This comparison could be concerning the period of time too; that he also stayed with the Prophet ﷺ for four years. Abū Hurairah ﷺ arrived in the year 7H and the Prophet ﷺ passed away in the third month of the year 11H. Or the comparison could also be in its nature or particulars that, as Abū Hurairah ﷺ stayed all the time with the Prophet ﷺ; in the same manner this dignified person also used to remain in the company of the Prophet ﷺ. 2. 'Combing the hair daily': Because one's combing the hair daily provides the evidence that they are given to preening themselves excessively, and this trait is generally found in women. Either such a person preens and spruces himself and keeps himself attractive like women, which puts other men to the test and cause them to go astray, or if he does so in order to attract women toward him, then he would cause mischief among women. Men should not have excessive inclination toward preening and beautification, otherwise they would give rise to evils. 3. The unmistakable outcome of one's not combing the hair daily would be that they would be prompted to have regular haircuts, so that the need for combing the hair daily does not remain. Herein lies the correlation of this chapter with the theme.
