Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Trim the mustaches and let the beards grow."
[Authentic] - [Agreed upon] - [Sahīh Muslim - 259]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) enjoins that the mustache should be trimmed and not be left to grow; rather, it should be cut, and this should be done to a great extent.
On the other hand, he enjoins that the beard should be left to grow long.
