Muwatta Malik #1799
The Description of the Prophet, may Allah Bless Him and Grant Him Peace
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al-Musayyub said, "Ibrahim, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
was the first to give hospitality to the guest and the first person to
be circumcised and the first person to trim the moustache and the
first person to see grey hair. He said, 'O Lord! What is this?' Allah
the Blessed, the Exalted, said, 'It is dignity, Ibrahim.' He said,
'Lord, increase me in dignity!' "
Yahya said that he had
heard Malik say, "One takes from the moustache until the edge of the
lip appears, that is the rim. One does not cut if off completely so
that one mutilates oneself."
