Sahih al-Bukhari 3322 (Book 60, Hadith 135)
He took a tuft of hair that was in the hand of an orderly and said, “O people of Medina! Where are
your learned men? I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) forbidding such a thing as this (i.e. false hair) and he used to
say, ‘The Israelis were destroyed when their ladies practiced this habit (of using false hair to lengthen
their locks).
“ إِنَّمَا هَلَكَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ حِينَ اتَّخَذَهَا نِسَاؤُهُمْ ”.

Among the six canonical hadith collections of Sunni Islam, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, Sahih al-Bukhari is frequently accorded the highest rank. This esteemed status is a testament to the rigorous scholarly methods employed by its compiler, Muḥammad al-Bukhārī, who finished his work around 847. The collection is vast, containing an estimated 7,563 individual reports detailing the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. These are carefully categorized into 97 chapters, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding Islamic doctrine, law, and spiritual practice.
