The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Did the prophet Muhammad (saw) keep a beard and if so at what age did he start to keep it? Also what waas the length of his hair?

Answer

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) kept a full beard which covered the above portion of his chest. There are three narrations regarding the size of his hair: a) Till the ears, b) below the ears, c) till the neck (shoulders).

All three narrations are correct as hair continuously grows. (Shamaail Tirmidhi).
