Hadhrat Suhail Bin Hanzalah Radhiyallahu anhu was living a life of seclusion in Damascus. He did not mix with people, nor did he go anywhere. He was whether busy in Salat or in Zikir throughout the day. While going to masjid, he would pass by Hadhrat Abu Darda Radiyallahu anhu, one of the eminent companions. Abu Darda Radiyallahu anhu would say to him; ‘O, Suhail! Let us hear some good words from you. We shall gain much, though you will lose nothing.’Hadhrat Suhaik ra would then relates something that he hears from the Prophet saw (peace be upon him), or some event that he had seen in his lifetime. Once on Hdhrat Abu Darda ra as usual, he said: ‘Once the Prophet saw (peace be upon him) made a mention to Hadhrat Khuraim Asadi ra and said,’He is a good man except for two habits, viz, he keeps the hair of his head too long and he allows his izaar to go below his ankles. When Khuraim learnt this, he immediately cut the hair up to his ear and began to keep his izaar up to the middle of the calf of his leg.’
