أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ كَهْمَسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ
كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَامِلًا بِمِصْرَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَشْعَثُ الرَّأْسِ مُشْعَانٌّ فَقُلْتُ «مَا لِي أَرَاكَ مُشْعَانًّا وَأَنْتَ أَمِيرٌ؟» قَالَ كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْهَانَا عَنِ الْإِرْفَاهِ قُلْنَا «مَا الْإِرْفَاهُ؟» قَالَ «التَّرَجُّلُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سَمَّاهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ إِيَاسٍ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ

"One of the Companions of the Prophet [SAW] was a governor in Egypt, and one of his companions came to him and found him with unkempt, wild hair. He said: 'How come I see you with wild hair when you are a governor?' He said: 'The Prophet of Allah [SAW] forbade us from Al-Irfah,' and we said: 'What is Al-Irfah?' He said: 'To comb your hair every day.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5058)
