قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبَانَ، ثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ:
أَتَى رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعَجَمِ الْمَسْجِدَ، وَقَدْ وَفَّرَ شَارِبَهُ، وَجَزَّ لِحْيَتَهُ، فَقَالَ [لَهُ] رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَبِّي أَمَرَنِي بِهَذَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُوَفِّرَ لِحْيَتِي، وَأُحْفِيَ شَارِبِي
