 TRADITION OF THE INFALLIBLES AS

Imam Ali AS said in the olden day’s one group used to shave the beard and raise the mustaches. Allah has forbidden it.

It is narrated to Prophet SW that when Allah has accepted the repentance of Adam AS then He has bowed down in posture and when He raised his head and saw towards the sky after a long time and prayed O Lord increase my elegance and admiration. In due course the beard has popped up. He asked O Lord what is this then Allah has conveyed that it will adorn you and your children on the day of Judgment.
