"I saw Abū Rāfiʿ, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), see al-Ḥasan while he was praying with his hair tied up, so he untied it, or forbade it, and said: ..." and he mentioned it. I said: Its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of the two Shaykhs, except for Abū Saʿd al-Madanī. The ḥāfiẓ said: "It is said: He is Shuraḥbīl ibn Saʿd." I said: And that is not far-fetched, for he narrated from Abū Rāfiʿ, and from him Mukhawwal ibn Rāshid narrated, and he is known as Abū Saʿd, and he is truthful but became confused at the end of his life.

I said: And it is as he said, except for the shaykh of al-Ṭabarānī (23/252) ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, and he is a trustworthy ḥāfiẓ, so the chain is authentic. Aḥmad narrated (1/146) from the path of Abū Isḥāq from al-Ḥārith from ʿAlī as a marfūʿ ḥadīth: "And do not pray while your hair is tied up, for it is the portion of Satan." Al-Ḥārith is weak, and what has preceded is sufficient. His saying: "with tied hair": meaning: some of it gathered to some like braided, and this
