Are beards obligatory for devout Muslim men?

Hizbul-Islam militants in Somalia ordered men in Mogadishu this week to grow their beards and trim their moustaches.

"Anyone found violating this law will face the consequences," a Hizbul-Islam militant said

But is growing a beard obligatory under Islam?

Hadith - Bukhari 7:781, Narrated Ibn 'Umar 

Allah's Apostle  said, "Cut the moustaches short and leave the beard (as it is)."


Hadith - Muslim, Narrated AbuHurayrah 

The Messenger of Allah  said: Trim closely the moustache, and grow beard, and thus act against the fire-worshippers.


Hadith - Bukhari 9:651, Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri

The Prophet  said, "There will emerge from the East some people who will recite the Qur'an but it will not exceed their throats and who will go out of (renounce) the religion (Islam) as an arrow passes through the game, and they will never come back to it unless the arrow, comes back to the middle of the bow (by itself) (i.e., impossible)." The people asked, "What will their signs be?" He said, "Their sign will be the habit of shaving (of their beards)." (Fateh Al-Bari, Page 322, Vol. 17th)


Hadith - Muwatta 51.7

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Ata ibn Yasar told him that the Messenger of Allah  was in the mosque when a man came in with dishevelled hair and beard. The Messenger of Allah  motioned with his hand that he should be sent out to groom his hair and beard. The man did so and then returned. The Messenger of Allah said, "Isn't this better than that one of you should come with his head dishevelled, as if he were a shaytan?"
