Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Groom Your Hair (Hadith Commentary from Zad alTalibin)

Hadith number 245

Mankind Allah Who shall run for you Chrimbo mankind Allah Who

shall run for you, Kareem Imam Abu Dawood relates this hadith, it is

recommended, while actually the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam said,

Whoever has hair should groom it, which is the majority of pupil.

Right? Whoever's hair should groom it. So if Allah subhanaw taala has

given you hair will look after it essentially saying look after it,

you can remove, honor it,

which means to oil it, to comb it, to keep it cut neatly, to make it

look decent, and so on and so forth. There's a whole chapter

about the hair of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and

how he used to groom his hair. And what he used to do for his hair in

the Shama and it's a chapter well worth reading, the Shama Iloveyou

mountain movie, the prophets of Allah who is I'm used to use a lot

of the prophets of Allah while he was telling us to use a lot of

oil, because he had long hair, the normal way of Rasulullah

sallallahu sallam was to have long hair as opposed to short hair.

The only time that is related that he had short hair was when he went

for Umrah or Hajj, and he had it cut there. Otherwise, all the time

his hair dangled down to his ear lobes, or halfway down to his

shoulders, or all the way down to his shoulders. Those are the three

limbs that we that we hear about. But he used to keep it oiled

properly, because then you have a lot of hair.

And women would notice when they have a lot of hair is that it

pulls a lot of resources from your brain from your head. And you need

to keep it oiled to keep it all otherwise it gets very dry. And

then it becomes harmful for the hair as well. So keeping an oil

actually keeps your brain fresh as well keeps the head fresh. And

it's important to do that.

The way to apply here, one of the best ways to apply here is to get

some oil and put it into the middle of the head to put it in

the middle of the head by the brain towards kind of middle the

front, so that that part sucks in. And then after that to oil, the

rest of the hair as well.

The process that a lot of them used to carry a comb with him, he

used to look in the mirror, he used to comb his hair. So it's not

a woman thing to do. Only, yes, it should not lead to a level of

obsession. That's what's important. So it's not that even

men, I mean, it's bad enough when women do it. But it's bad when men

are always putting out there come to see and look at look at

themselves, and not their con necessarily but their phones

nowadays, because the screen acts like a very good mirror.

So you know, they're constantly looking at themselves and making

sure every every hair is in its place. That's really weird.

Especially those that use

those that have the spiked up here where they have to actually manage

it every morning, like women have to spend two hours on their makeup

every morning. So you got boys, you got these young guys who have

to gel it up in a particular way and then have the spikes in our

you know, only five spikes to the front and three spikes in the

back. And so on. And or tuft of hair right in the front or under

sight, you know, in a particular way, because of trying to copy

somebody else maybe or have a unique look, I really feel sorry

for those people who are really obsessed because they're really

obsessed over something which is not really worth being obsessed

over as such. And it's a very womanly thing to do. It's okay

when women do it to a certain degree, it gets really bad when

they're doing it every traffic light as well.

This obviously includes the beard as well, the beard is very

important for it to be managed properly as well. And not that it

should just be left to grow on its own and then let it be wispy and

flying all over the place. That's also very important.

Having said that, it's necessary, as mentioned in the majority of

mud hubs that the beard needs to be at least one fistful on you,

the chef is have an opinion of less than that. So just because

you keep the glue there there is that there are people in a

particular country that I visited, and they all had short beards. And

one of the reasons they cited there was because it says that you

should groom your hair, and you should make it look good. So this

way, it looks better. But that's really just the justification. The

reason is that the reason why they're not allowed to the reason

why they don't keep a big, big, big beard is because of political

reasons. And they receive a lot of harassment, major problems. I

mean, I'm talking about Syria, you can understand the government how

it is done there, and what the kind of cracked down. They're

very, they're very the way of the government of Syria is they just

absolutely have no compassion for anybody you think before. What

Before we saw, we saw you think that Israelis were the worst. But

what what these guys are doing here? They, they might even be

putting the Israelis to shame in what they do, then they both they

both seem to have been influenced by each other. And the Syrians who

are doing this there are other ways. So they're not proper

Muslims anyway, not wanting to attack fear, but they're not

proper Muslims. Even the main body of the Shiites would not call them

Muslim, because they've got some really extreme view of the other

whites otherwise who believe that Oliver the Allahu Anhu was divine

was was like God or something like that. So even the normal shades

would probably consider them to be off the track. It's a very small

minority, very, very small group of people who are doing this and

probably for them, it's just like survival, because if they lose

that they've lost it. All. Right. They may have shared with Saddam

in being Baathists, which is ideology. But But Saddam was not

not sad. So that was actually Sunni, right? Whereas this guy,

these guys are not Sunni. They're and they're the form of extreme

Shiites so

they it just you can you can see what they're doing, just like the

Israelis are doing but we don't know who's who's doing worse now.

It's really bad. Now what happens in situations like that with the

with the ruler mother when they can't keep a beard and I know that

you know, it was like that in Egypt as well, is that then you

have to find ways of justifying why you're doing what you're

doing. And eventually it becomes a justification only, which is

really sad. But for the chef is they have some allowance in their

school anyway, though. It's not something we need to try to look

for and follow because what's most important is what Rasul allah

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did, regardless of mother, and what the

Prophet said Ulsan did was something that happened before the

mother who's or even around the Malays are based on their

perspective of wars with the loss of a Larson did, but the Sunnah is

clear the way the beard of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam was,

so that's why this should not be used as an example to chop the

beard off a search
