It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Fatik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Samurah is a good man; if only he would cut his hair a little shorter and keep his lower garment above the ankles." Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) immediately acted upon both matters. He shortened his hair and raised his lower garment.
