midnighteyes, my humble request is to avoid arguing with people who relate things with bearded people which most of the bearded people have not faced. We can only pray to Allah (saw) for them ( and for ourselves) so that Allah (swt) bless us all with the wisdom to realize that when we give “those sort of comments” we at times forget that all the prophets also had a beard.
May Allah (swt) bless us all with the wisdom to learn to “at least” respect the acts which were part of all the prophet’s personality.
