أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ قَدِمَ مُعَاوِيَةُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَخَطَبَنَا وَأَخَذَ کُبَّةً مِنْ شَعْرٍ قَالَ مَا کُنْتُ أَرَی أَحَدًا يَفْعَلُهُ إِلَّا الْيَهُودَ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَلَغَهُ فَسَمَّاهُ الزُّورَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5261
It was narrated that Saeed bin Al-Musayyab said: “Muawiyah came to Al-Madinah and addressed us. He took hold of a hairpiece and said: ‘I never used to see anyone do this except the Jews. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم heard of it and he called it “giving a false impression.” (Sahih)
