2781. Ĥumaid bin 'Abdur-Raĥmān narrated that he heard Mu'āwiyah giving a Khutbah in Al-Madinah, and saying: "Where are your scholars. O people of Al-Madinah? [Indeed] I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbidding from these locks (of hair), and saying: "The Children of Isrā'īl were only ruined when their women used them."(Saĥīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ĥadīth is Ĥasan Saĥīh, and it has been reported through other routes from Mu'āwiyah.

٢٧٨١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ‌الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، «أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ» ‌مُعَاوِيَةَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ: أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنْ هَذِهِ الْقُصَّةِ، وَيَقُولُ: إِنَّمَا هَلَكَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ حِينَ اتَّخَذَهَا نِسَاؤُهُمْ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ.

Commentary

Mu'āwiyah ﷺ performed his last Hajj in 51 A.H. in the reign of his caliphate, he visited Al-Madinah on his return where he saw a bunch of artificial hair with the women who used it as an extension to their hair. So he delivered a sermon to the people concerning this issue and objected on the extension of hair, and he also drew the attention of the scholars to it.
