Zujajat al-Masabih 392Volume 1

English

From Ja'far bin Tamam bin Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, from his father Allah said: Some people from the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon him, and he said: "Why do I see you all bald-headed? Use the siwak, for if it were not for the difficulty it would cause my Ummah, I would have commanded them to use the siwak at every prayer." And in another narration: "Why do I see you entering upon me bald-headed? Use the siwak, for if it were not for the difficulty it would cause my Ummah, I would have commanded them to use the siwak at every prayer or at every wudu." [Narrated by Imam Abu Hanifa as a disconnected narration] Ibn Hibban said: Tamam, the narrator, is a trustworthy Tabi'i (successor), and not the weak Tamam.
