من لم يأخذ من شاربه ؛ فليس منَّاThat a man came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and his mustache had grown long—meaning it extended over his lip—so he ordered (peace and blessings be upon him) that a miswak and a pair of scissors be brought to him. He placed the miswak under the part of the mustache that had grown long and cut it.
