Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 48, Hadith 207

It was narrated that Sa’eed bin Al-Musayyab said: “Mu’awiyah came to Al-Madinah and addressed us. He took hold of a hairpiece and said: ‘I never used to see anyone do this except the Jews. The Messenger of Allah heard of it and he called it “giving a false impression.”

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، قَالَ قَدِمَ مُعَاوِيَةُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَخَطَبَنَا وَأَخَذَ كُبَّةً مِنْ شَعْرٍ قَالَ مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى أَحَدًا يَفْعَلُهُ إِلاَّ الْيَهُودَ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَلَغَهُ فَسَمَّاهُ الزُّورَ ‏.‏
