Summary
The hadith stating "Wear turbans and you will increase in gentleness" is graded weak. Its chains include problematic narrators such as Ubaidullah bin Abu Humaid and Imran bin Tamam, and scholars including Imam al-Bukhari and Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani judged it weak. The supporting narrations are also weak. This does not deny that the turban was among the garments worn by the Prophet, as shown in authentic hadiths.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadis tersebut adalah hadis yang lemah.
