The Prophet's beard, peace and blessings be upon him, was thick. Many hadiths describe it as such, including the of Al-Bara' bin 'Azib narrated by Al-Nasa'i, and the hadith of Yazid Al-Farisi narrated by Ahmad and Al-Tirmidhi in Al-Shama'il. Al-Qadi 'Iyad mentioned in "Al-Shifa" that authentic narrations described the Prophet's beard, peace and blessings be upon him, as "a thick beard that filled his chest." Ibn Al-Jawzi explained "thick" as "dense," Ibn Hajar as "having density and roundness, not long," and Al-Manawi as one of the most perfect descriptions.
