			Hadith number 245
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:09
			Mankind Allah Who shall run for
you Chrimbo mankind Allah Who
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13
			shall run for you, Kareem Imam Abu
Dawood relates this hadith, it is
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			recommended, while actually the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:16
			sallam said,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:22
			Whoever has hair should groom it,
which is the majority of pupil.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:28
			Right? Whoever's hair should groom
it. So if Allah subhanaw taala has
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			given you hair will look after it
essentially saying look after it,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			you can remove, honor it,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:42
			which means to oil it, to comb it,
to keep it cut neatly, to make it
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:47
			look decent, and so on and so
forth. There's a whole chapter
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			about the hair of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:54
			how he used to groom his hair. And
what he used to do for his hair in
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			the Shama and it's a chapter well
worth reading, the Shama Iloveyou
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
			mountain movie, the prophets of
Allah who is I'm used to use a lot
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			of the prophets of Allah while he
was telling us to use a lot of
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:09
			oil, because he had long hair, the
normal way of Rasulullah
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			sallallahu sallam was to have long
hair as opposed to short hair.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			The only time that is related that
he had short hair was when he went
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			for Umrah or Hajj, and he had it
cut there. Otherwise, all the time
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			his hair dangled down to his ear
lobes, or halfway down to his
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			shoulders, or all the way down to
his shoulders. Those are the three
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			limbs that we that we hear about.
But he used to keep it oiled
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			properly, because then you have a
lot of hair.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			And women would notice when they
have a lot of hair is that it
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:41
			pulls a lot of resources from your
brain from your head. And you need
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:45
			to keep it oiled to keep it all
otherwise it gets very dry. And
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			then it becomes harmful for the
hair as well. So keeping an oil
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			actually keeps your brain fresh as
well keeps the head fresh. And
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			it's important to do that.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			The way to apply here, one of the
best ways to apply here is to get
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			some oil and put it into the
middle of the head to put it in
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:09
			the middle of the head by the
brain towards kind of middle the
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:14
			front, so that that part sucks in.
And then after that to oil, the
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			rest of the hair as well.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			The process that a lot of them
used to carry a comb with him, he
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			used to look in the mirror, he
used to comb his hair. So it's not
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			a woman thing to do. Only, yes, it
should not lead to a level of
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			obsession. That's what's
important. So it's not that even
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			men, I mean, it's bad enough when
women do it. But it's bad when men
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			are always putting out there come
to see and look at look at
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			themselves, and not their con
necessarily but their phones
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			nowadays, because the screen acts
like a very good mirror.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			So you know, they're constantly
looking at themselves and making
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			sure every every hair is in its
place. That's really weird.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			Especially those that use
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			those that have the spiked up here
where they have to actually manage
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			it every morning, like women have
to spend two hours on their makeup
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			every morning. So you got boys,
you got these young guys who have
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			to gel it up in a particular way
and then have the spikes in our
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			you know, only five spikes to the
front and three spikes in the
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			back. And so on. And or tuft of
hair right in the front or under
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			sight, you know, in a particular
way, because of trying to copy
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			somebody else maybe or have a
unique look, I really feel sorry
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			for those people who are really
obsessed because they're really
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			obsessed over something which is
not really worth being obsessed
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			over as such. And it's a very
womanly thing to do. It's okay
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			when women do it to a certain
degree, it gets really bad when
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			they're doing it every traffic
light as well.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			This obviously includes the beard
as well, the beard is very
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			important for it to be managed
properly as well. And not that it
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			should just be left to grow on its
own and then let it be wispy and
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			flying all over the place. That's
also very important.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			Having said that, it's necessary,
as mentioned in the majority of
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			mud hubs that the beard needs to
be at least one fistful on you,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:11
			the chef is have an opinion of
less than that. So just because
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			you keep the glue there there is
that there are people in a
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			particular country that I visited,
and they all had short beards. And
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			one of the reasons they cited
there was because it says that you
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			should groom your hair, and you
should make it look good. So this
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			way, it looks better. But that's
really just the justification. The
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			reason is that the reason why
they're not allowed to the reason
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			why they don't keep a big, big,
big beard is because of political
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:43
			reasons. And they receive a lot of
harassment, major problems. I
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			mean, I'm talking about Syria, you
can understand the government how
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			it is done there, and what the
kind of cracked down. They're
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:55
			very, they're very the way of the
government of Syria is they just
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			absolutely have no compassion for
anybody you think before. What
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Before we saw, we saw you think
that Israelis were the worst. But
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:08
			what what these guys are doing
here? They, they might even be
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:12
			putting the Israelis to shame in
what they do, then they both they
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			both seem to have been influenced
by each other. And the Syrians who
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:19
			are doing this there are other
ways. So they're not proper
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			Muslims anyway, not wanting to
attack fear, but they're not
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			proper Muslims. Even the main body
of the Shiites would not call them
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:29
			Muslim, because they've got some
really extreme view of the other
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:33
			whites otherwise who believe that
Oliver the Allahu Anhu was divine
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			was was like God or something like
that. So even the normal shades
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			would probably consider them to be
off the track. It's a very small
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			minority, very, very small group
of people who are doing this and
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:49
			probably for them, it's just like
survival, because if they lose
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			that they've lost it. All. Right.
They may have shared with Saddam
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:57
			in being Baathists, which is
ideology. But But Saddam was not
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			not sad. So that was actually
Sunni, right? Whereas this guy,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			these guys are not Sunni. They're
and they're the form of extreme
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			Shiites so
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:11
			they it just you can you can see
what they're doing, just like the
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			Israelis are doing but we don't
know who's who's doing worse now.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:19
			It's really bad. Now what happens
in situations like that with the
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			with the ruler mother when they
can't keep a beard and I know that
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			you know, it was like that in
Egypt as well, is that then you
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			have to find ways of justifying
why you're doing what you're
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:31
			doing. And eventually it becomes a
justification only, which is
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			really sad. But for the chef is
they have some allowance in their
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:38
			school anyway, though. It's not
something we need to try to look
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			for and follow because what's most
important is what Rasul allah
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did,
regardless of mother, and what the
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			Prophet said Ulsan did was
something that happened before the
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			mother who's or even around the
Malays are based on their
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			perspective of wars with the loss
of a Larson did, but the Sunnah is
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			clear the way the beard of
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam was,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			so that's why this should not be
used as an example to chop the
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			beard off a search
