384. Abū Rāfi' narrated that he passed by Al-Ḥasan bin 'Ali while he was performing Ṣalāt and he had gathered his locks at the back of his head, so he (Abū Rāfi') undid them, and Al-Ḥasan turned to him angrily. He said: "Resume your Ṣalāt and do not be angry, for indeed I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying: 'That is the seat of Ash-Shaitān.'" (Ḥasan)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Umm Salamah, and 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Rāfi' is a Ḥasan Hadīth.
