And, not or.

(2). The teachings of Hadhrat Ammar Bin Yaasir, Abdullah Ibn Umar, Sayyidina Umar, Abu Hurairah and Jaabir (R.A.), indicate that ALL used to keep beards that were one fist length or more. Hadhrat Jaabir (R.A.) had said: "We used to grow long beards and only during Hajj and Umrah did we trim them to the required length (i.e. fist length)."

Personal actions, not anything faraz.

(3). Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Umar (R.A.) relates that: "He who imitates the kuffar (non-believers) and dies in that state, he will be raised up with them on the Day of Qiyamat (Judgement)."

For your information, non-Muslims grow (full) beards too. A rather contradictory reference.
Quote:
(4). Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) says: "Trim closely the moustache, and let the beard flow (Grow)."

Correct hadith and it is pertaining to characteristics of Fitra.
Quote:
(5). "Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) ordered us to trim the moustache closely and spare the beard" says Ibn Umar.
- Muslim, Hadith no. 449

Wrong reference. Hadith 449 is:
Book 2, Number 0449:
Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) said : Five prayers and one Friday prayer to (the next) Friday prayer are expiatious (for the sins committed in the intervals) between them.
Quote:
(6). Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)said: "Act against contrary to the polythesists, trim closely the moustache and grow the beard."
- Reported by Ibn Umar (R.A.) in Muslim, Hadith no. 500

Correct reference.
Quote:
(7). Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said "Trim closely the moustache and grow the beard."
- Reported by Abu Hurairah (R.A.) in Muslim, Hadith no. 501
|
Incomplete Hadith.
Quote:
(8). Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "Anyone who shaves has no claim to the mercy of Allah"
- Reported by Ibn Abbas (R.A.) in Tibrabi
|
Really? When The Prophet (PBUH) himself emphasizes shaving the armpits and pubic hair? Going by the above reference means that any man who shaves his hair (armpit or pubic) will not get the mercy of Allah.
I cannot find Tabrabi's compilation so it is suspicious. The most authentic ones are from Bukhari and Muslim (mind, Muslim is stricter than Bukhari).
Here are some Hadith from Sahih Muslim about this (shaving):
Book 2, Number 0502:
'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be npon him) said: Ten are the acts according to fitra : clipping the moustache, letting the beard grow, using the tooth-stick, snuffing water in the nose, cutting the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the hair under the armpits, shaving the pubes and cleaning one's private parts with water. The narrator said : I have forgotten the tenth, but it may have been rinsing the mouth.
Book 2, Number 0495:
Abu Huraira reported: Five are the acts quite akin to the Fitra, or five are the acts of Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubes, cutting the nails, plucking the hair under the armpits and clipping the moustache.
Book 2, Number 0497:
Anas reported: A time limit has been prescribed for us for clipping the moustache, cutting the nails, plucking hair under the armpits, shaving the pubes, that it should not be neglected far more than forty nights.
The contradiction from your source raise a lot of doubts about the veracity of the source. Any way, I doubt you have written all this yourself. probably a copy and paste job from some random website.
Most of the rest are personal opinions of the Imams rather than authentic Ahadees or [explicit] Quranic references.
