Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim
Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala say you did more
saline what are the, the he wasafi Baraka was seldom at the Sleeman
cathedra on Eli Yomi Dean Emeritus
as part of our ongoing series on the Shema al
Hammadi sallallahu alayhi wasallam of Imam Timothy, today we begin
chapter five. Chapter Five is on the appearance of white hair, or
gray hair.
For Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
In this chapter, Imam Timothy
will be discussing
the different reports, a hadith
of those Sahaba who accounted noticed the white hairs of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
So we'll look at the different narrations and try to reconcile
between them. And essentially, the conclusion is very simple.
There were probably no more than 20 white hairs in the head and
beard of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the hair of
the head, and the beard of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, no more than 20 That was the maximum, there's obviously
going to be a difference of opinion. Because hair is not
something that is so clearly visible all the time white here.
And that will also be discussed. There are eight narrations in this
chapter.
And this doesn't mean that Imam told me the has brought together
every single narration that there is in existence about the hair of
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, but he's definitely bought most of
them, the majority of them, especially the representative
ones. We'll try to look at some of the others as well. So let's read
the chapter first.
Bismillah R Rahman Rahim.

So chapter on the white hair of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
first hadith is related by an A supramolecular the hola Juan, as
we've noticed so far, many of these are Hadith related by him
because as an outsider, he probably had the closest
inspection of Rasulullah sallallahu some association with
him because he did his
kedma he was at his service for 10 years.
It's kind of interesting that we've got some a Hadith from the
wives of Rasulullah sallallahu. And he was the Omaha minion.
But the majority of the Hadith here have not been from the Omaha
minion, although you'd expect them to be more knowledgeable than
probably anybody else. It's not like there was a contract out
there that, you know, we need people to report. You know, we
need people to report this than other so you know, we're gonna
wait for that. Or somebody was going around interviewing
everybody. Some decided to mention it and others didn't decide to
mention it. They were definitely the Mothers of the Believers, they
were definitely probably more knowledgeable than answer the
Allahu Allah about the hair. Because they could probably go and
check how many hairs really there was whereas other study alone, he
probably had to just work on observation.
So it's
an incidental thing that those who have narrated have narrated it,
but Tofik
the first hadith is thus from an IP nomadic Rhodiola one
and it's actually from her mum from Qatada. Qatada asks and
assumed nomadic so even he answered Malika the Allah is not
going out there and saying, look, I've got something to declare,
somebody is asking him the question. In this case.
He said, Qatar this is I asked Anna SuperAmerica, the Allah one
did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam dye his hair. And so the
Allahu Anhu said that it didn't reach to that level. Let me above
that. It didn't get to that level where he was forced to dye his
hair.
Now look at the words, it didn't get to dyeing his hair in the
sense that he didn't get to the level that he had today, his her,
what do you think would be a level that you'd have to dye your hair,
it's if you get a lot of white hair.
Right or you're concerned about it, I mean, these could be all
possible reasons.
There's the next chapter, which we will not be covering today is
about dyeing the profit or loss and dyeing his hair. So, there are
some reports few about the profit and loss of dyeing his hair or
assumed to be dyeing his hair.
What and so the Allahu Anhu is saying here doesn't contradict
anything, because he's saying it didn't get to that level that he
had to dye his hair. But he may have done and he in fact, he did
do according to Abdullah Abdullah Amara, the hola Juan.
But what honestly alone is saying is that only about 1520 years
14 1718 or 20. So there was no need to dye them because the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
wasn't
out there to make an impact with his,
with the way he dressed as such, with the way he looked, you know,
people today in prominent positions have to be very careful
about what they wear and so on. What the prophets of Allah sent
did and everything that we're reading is out of personal
conviction. And it's out of human nature. It's out of a perfection
in human nature. So it wasn't for others. It was something
intrinsic, that every human being should be doing, grooming the
hair, and so on. So what not for a moment, should we think that any
of this was to show somebody else this was the thing to do. And this
is what any decent individual human being should do. Then,
honestly alone clarified that it didn't reach that level. But there
was some meaning there was some small amount of white hairs fees.
So the way he had his temples,
this is the place between the eyes and the ears. So the hair
generally here on the right and left side, that's where he had
some white hair.
But he says Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu used to dye his hair with
both henna and ketam. Henna is henna, which most people are aware
of. It gives the kind of a reddish color is a reddish brownish kind
of color. That's the kind of color it will give you the dye your hair
with henna and Cutsem gives them a darkish color
darker than henna.
So the question is that did he use both together? Did he use one
after the other? So we don't really know from this narration if
that's the case, the reason why we have to be careful about it is
because although we're not speaking about dyeing the hair,
which will be in the next section, but there is one rule in this. Can
you dye your hair or not? Is it encouraged today? All of these
things we'll be looking at more in detail next week. But in general
there is a prohibition for one type of dying.
Right, which is black. So the prophets of Allah made it very
clear in one Hadith where he addresses
Abu Bakr, Siddiq rhodiola, when his father, when he met him, he
had a full hair of gray hair. And he said, change that alter that
you use some day, just abstain from black. So black is not
allowed. Because that's deceptive. You know, that's like trying to
look younger. But another color is fine. You don't like white, no
problem, in fact, change it. Because at that time, the
Christians didn't like to die. So the problem was, I'm encouraged
that they do change it. So it's a general encouragement, it's not
necessary if somebody wants to keep their gray hair, that would
be completely fine. But there is a general recommendation. So now
Hannah and Catherine Hannah Hannah is understood its leaves that get
crushed. And then you mix that up and it gives a really nice reddish
day which women use on their hands and men can use on the head. It
has certain properties of coolness, if somebody is suffering
from excessive heat in the body it henna is supposed to tone that
down as well. It has that benefit.
Gotham is difficult to determine exactly what that refers to. But
it's a type of grass, which is also used for dyeing with it has a
darker color than then Hannah. And
now
the narration, some commentators said that if you use both of them,
it will give you a darker color than red, meaning darker color
than Hannah would on its own. And
get them it would be not dark. So it'd be like a dark brownish
color. Maybe that's why you'd use both. But others say no, if you
actually use both and is probably different people different
experience. And you have to also remember henna is of different
types give different types of colors, different shades of red or
such. So some say that using both of them would be not advisable,
because based on their experience, mixing the two together gives you
a black color.
But it looks like that what we understand from the apparent
wording of this hadith that that should not be the case, it should
just give you a darker color, it should be fine. But that will you
would just tell by the kind of henna, you have. Just a word of
caution, especially for the women who are listening. They will see a
number of different types of henna marketed out there today in these
specially prepared cones and things, which gives us extreme
black color.
Right. So firstly, it's kind of weird, because number one henna is
kind of this reddish orangish tinge, which, or brownish tinge
red, inclined to brownish tinge. It's recommended for women to put
it on, not men, although in some cultures, even men put some on.
But it's not Islamic to that because it's effeminate. It's
cheap, it's copying women. So you shouldn't do that. In that's on
the hands and feet. Right. But unless it's for
unless it's for a cure of some problem, you have something which
is an exception, but the hair it's fine the hair and the beard,
people use it, men use it, it's completely fine to do that.
Now these cones that you can buy, they make themselves out to be
henna, they they
promoted as henna give you a black color. Firstly, I don't understand
why women would like black color on their hands. It's quite Gothic.
Right? So I have no idea why you'd want black. And no, if you want to
frighten someone, you know, with whatever I don't know what the
story is. Firstly, that's an issue. Number two, a lot of that
just from a health perspective is not really henna. It's a mixture
of certain dyes and things that they're promoting as henna, so you
have to look into the ingredients of that thing. And it could be
quite harmful because at the end of the day, it's going into your
skin, it's being absorbed. And what happens in henna and
tattooing. Tattooing is a lot more permanent. The tattooing doesn't
happen on the surface of the skin, the ink is injected into the
second layer, where it remains permanently, that's why it doesn't
disappear. So it doesn't affect will do because it's not creating
a barrier on top, it's actually changing the ointment sorry
changing the pigment of the under layer of skin. The henna does it
only on a temporary basis. That's why henna is fine and nail polish
is not fine. Because nail polish is a barrier which will prevent
the water from getting onto the skin so marked that difference and
be careful of these
modern manifestations of henna that has promised to give you
really a black you know Gothic look. Be careful about that.
Okay
that is the first narration.
Let's we're going to just clarify a lot of the possible
contradictions that you might see in the other Hadith here so that
after that we could just three
through the rest of the Hadith
firstly, where exactly did the Prophet Allah some have white
hair? So just to put us into the picture, there were three places
that are reported to have had some way here.
Okay, three places we know about one already from this narration
what is that the two temples, the hair by the two temples. Number
two, as we learn from the last Hadith, it was at the hair
parting.
Now, there's difference of opinion as to exactly where in the hair
parting towards the front towards the middle where, but if it said
the hair parting will be more noticeable, because that's where
the colors are distinct. And number three, it was and this is
prominent, this is probably where the majority of them were. Does
anybody know where
it was in the, what you'd call in Arabic the low higher, or the
small beard. This is the small tufts of hair just beneath the
bottom lip, the lower lip beneath that the small tufts of hair
there, that is where the whiteness appears. And generally in people,
the whiteness would normally start on the temples, and then we'll
move and the way whiteness normally works. When your head
starts doing great in many people, he actually turns a reddish
orangish reddish color first, before it goes into white. I don't
know if there's any cure for
that they say this cure for baldness. I don't know if there's
any cure for whiteness. I don't know if anybody knows about any
cure for whiteness.
Just take it easy. You know, there's definitely a cure in that
sense. But we like miracle cures, you drink something and it changes
it. So I don't know if there's any cure for that. So the majority of
the 17 to 20 has 14 to 20 Has that were white, were in the in the
hairs at the just below the lower lip.
Right? There's a hadith in Bukhari, which supports this
narration that there was just a bit of white on the two temples.
So that makes it very clear it was
just a slight amount of white.
Now, honestly, the Allahu Anhu in this narration is saying he didn't
reach that level where he had to dye his hair.
Yes, there was a bit on his temple. So he mentioned the
templates in this case, yet in another narration, which we'll be
seeing later on. Anyway, he says that the he when he counted the
hair on his head and beard, it was about 14 white hair. So that is
possible or he's talking about that at a different time. And this
time he just mentioned Yes, there was some white there. But before
he had mentioned exactly there were 14 or he just felt like you
mentioned in general, or specifically in Buhari, he
mentions that the whiteness was in below the lower lip. The other
thing which is very interested in progress, Allah Musa use a lot of
oil. So as will be told later, in one of the reports, when the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam had oil his hair, you couldn't see the
white. And when the oil had dissipated, and the hair dried out
slightly, you could start seeing the weight, the few white hairs
that he did have.
That pretty much covers most of the narrations in this chapter,
because that's the conclusion of all of them. Question is that, why
is it that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not have so
many white hairs?
Despite the fact that the amount of grief that he probably had
and he took it on himself. Most people that have a lot of grief is
that it's placed on them.
There are people who take it on for themselves but with the
Prophets Allah, Allah Islam, he had concern for the Ummah
and he had such concern that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam he would have to be comforted by Allah subhanho wa
Taala reassured by Allah subhanaw taala Allah subhanaw taala would
have to would tell him to take it easy. Like why are you killing
yourself over this law? Allah cabal here enough sucker.
So he had the amount of concern was immense.
So one commentator, he mentions that the reason why the Prophet
sallallahu sallam was kept free of white hair is because women don't
like white hair. And the prophets of Allah Islam had many wives.
And this was to protect them, or to give them the appreciation.
Because when once a husband starts getting white hair, then you feel
like people are getting old, you feel like they're getting old and
so on and so forth. So that's kind of the gist of what one
commentator is giving about the wisdom behind why Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam didn't have as much way as other people would
have had
For the sake of his wives
are the Allahu anha.
However, Allahu Allah, I don't know how that his opinion.
Personally, I don't know what you people think. But it doesn't sound
like really the reason
it doesn't sound like a very plausible reason. The wives of
Rasulullah Salatin were given a choice, they would have taken a
sort of lesson a lesson whatever state he was in. These were not
ordinary women, they were specially selected women.
The best of the best, I mean,
Allah subhanaw, Taala couldn't have chosen. Other than that, if
he made the promises of the perfect human being, then why
would he choose?
Weak people
to be around him?
So it doesn't sound right. Allah knows best, but it doesn't sound
very plausible. And it'd be a toss up if women mind white hair or
not. Right? Once you're married? What are you going to do?
Right, if your husband starts getting white here, personally, I
don't think I don't think women care about that. Women are not as
much into looks, they're not as visual as men are. For men, that
would be an issue, but not for women.
So if it was the fact that his wives never got white here,
and then you'd give this reason that would sound more plausible.
But generally from
women, I mean, women are listening, they could agree
disagree, but this is what I think
they wants, they take the person they take them for the care that
you know, they give them and so on, men can do that as well. But
just men in general are more visual than than women. But love
overcomes all of these things. Love overcomes all of these
things.
Yeah, so the commentator is saying because you know once you have
white hair, then it's like it's a signal of death and so on and so
forth and Walla Walla, Harlem,
right the next Hadith Hadith number 38. It's related again from
an Ursa, the Allah one, and in this one, he says, ma either to
fiat see Rasulullah sallallahu earlier cinema here to hear Allah
Akbar Ashura, the charlatan VEDA that I did not count except
meaning I only counted 14 has white has in Rasulullah,
sallAllahu sums here. This does not contradict what we said in the
first chapter where he mentioned that only about 20 There were no
more than 20 Sorry. So in this one has been particular in that when
you're saying generally, because he could think that maybe I was
mistaken. I can remember 14 But you know what, there may be more,
I didn't go in and inspect it. Right. So he says it can't be they
can't have been more than 20 if I made a mistake, maybe 123 But they
could not have been made more than 20 in the and here it's saying 14
Another from another the Allahu Anhu. It's also related, that
Allah subhanho wa Taala and this is the way he said in this one, he
said Allah subhanho wa Taala did not make the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam defective
he did not.
blemish that's the word Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
and thus, he did not have in his hair or his beard except 17 or 18.
So in that one he thinks 17 or 18 may change his opinion.
Hadith number 39 which is from job Airblue, Samora Radi Allahu Allah
and
he says that, well seamark Hypno herb is relating this he says that
I heard Jabiru someone or the Allahu Anhu being asked about the
white hair of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
So this is what his take was, this is what he revealed, jabber April
somebody revealed that when the Prophet sallallahu is on wood, oil
his hair
then you could not see any whiteness, the white hairs would
be hidden and camouflaged. Because of the shine of the black hair. It
overpowers the white, especially if they're just strands.
When he did not oil his hair, meaning when it was dry, then you
could see it.
The next hadith is 100 is number 40
which is related from
nerfing who was the freed slave of Abdullah Hebron Omar.
And just for your information nerfed Abdullah Hebner Omar
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, this is considered the golden chain
or in Arabic they call a Silsila Silsila to the hub or Silsila the
Hibiya what that means is Imam Malik has an extensive collection
of these narrations
where he relates from nothing
from Abdullah he neuroma from Rasulullah sallallahu salah,
that's called the golden chain because nothing
was not questionable in any sense. Abdullah Hebron Amata didn't
wasn't questionable and since they had very close association, or the
live normally alone also had a very close association with allah
sallallahu sallam. So that's a very strong narration.
So now if it relates from Abdullah Hebner, Omar Radi Allahu Anhu
Abdullah him neuromotor the Allahu Anhu has related
1630 narrations in all that's how many we can gather together of his
narrations in all of the collections 1630
So he's a prolific Narrator he's one of the more prolific
narrators. He says that he relates that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam white hair was approximately 20 or 20 strands 20
years.
So
even if you look at the different durations is no more than 20 the
next narration is from crema. Now just like
who they for
No, NAFTA was a very special shouldn't have to live near Omar
or the hola Juan a Kadima was very close to Abdullah Hypno Ibis or
the hola Juan so you'll hear a lot of academia and Nafi these are
terrible a terrible in. So if no, I busted the Allahu Anhu it's
related from him by Nkrumah that Abu Bakr once Abu Bakr Siddiq or
the Allahu Anhu
looks at Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he may have
not noticed this before, or that he just noticed it because the
white just had just appeared. And out of just extreme sense of
compassion and softness and concern for a sudo allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He said Ya rasool Allah, God shipped
the
O Messenger of Allah, you've
become old.
Meaning White has appeared you've become old, you're just like so
concerned. Subhanallah some commentators have mentioned that
the reason
that he mentioned this was that he was referring to the fact that the
Prophet sallallaahu Salam, his body had become weak and so on.
But no, that's not as strong as this understanding that he's
referring to the white hair. What indicates that is a mantra he has
used this hadith in this chapter to show the whiteness, that that's
what it's referring to. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam responded.
But why did a Bobo consider the analysis question? Why was he just
so
concerned about this?
Because
he knows that the Prophet salallahu auditionees have been
observing him throughout his life, that his temperament, his body and
physical makeup, everything about the prophesy, Lawson was perfect
in perfect equilibrium, absolute moderation. So he felt that this
was going that what's happening now you're getting white hair, he
found it very difficult to believe.
So the prophets Allah Lauridsen responded to him
in a perfect with a perfect answer, and which proves that it
wasn't because I'm getting old or anything. This is the reason why
this whiteness has appeared. Why has it appeared?
Does anybody know what he's going to say?
This is the famous Hadith. He said call her sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, che you Bethany hood?
Well Walker, while more salat wa Mayor de lune what is a sham? So
coupIe rot.
It's the sewers that have made me old. That abroad, this white hair
and the amount of concentration, Insight reflection that the
province has had on the Saudis and his concern for the Ummah and his
absolute Yaqeen the level of Yaqeen of a prophet compared to
us, for example,
that he had about the hereafter and the inevitable death and
standing in front of Allah subhanaw taala.
If anybody else had that kind of a concern, that kind of reflection
or insight, imagine what it would do to them. But for a surah Allah
salAllahu Alaihe Salam, it just gave him a few heads which is
which shows enough now the question is, is it just the
sorters when you look at one worker, either walk or 18 worker
walking refers to the thing that occurs, the momentous thing that
occurs which is the day of judgment the last day either walk
or at work here, then well mortality OLFA Allah subhanho wa
Taala starts by swearing oath by all of these things. Well, more so
that you're over for the RC 30 Asfa when she arrived the national
welfare party for call for milk Korea Declan earlier on
in
My two I do in Allah worker, that pot. All of these first words they
just by swearing by the different the winds and the horses and so
on. In number two I do in Allah WellCare we are taking these oaths
that what you have been promised is certain to occur.
So that's well, more salad. I'm Maya Tessa Loon And another Elohim
about them asking about this momentous event that will take
place, then either Shamsul cowrote, either summer on Fatah,
Tommy, all of these sores in the shrimp secured when the sun will
be rolled up, this Majestic Sun that we rely on that is greater
than our Earth, it will be rolled up. So it's not really the promise
of awesome is not restricting it to these sorrows. It's also as
they're like that
anything. And the reason is they contain mention and description of
the states of the day of judgment and the
momentous nature of it, the frightening nature of it, the
serious nature of it,
the punishments that will be meted out and so on, the next generation
will be in the province of Lausanne will be giving a similar
response where he won't be detailed it just say hood and
sisters, meaning hood and the
sewers that are like it that contain the same kind of content.
And the same theme
inside relates from anastomotic or the Allahu Anhu that Abu Bakr
Siddiq or the Allahu Anhu
said
following this statement of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam be a
be Woombye Maha to her
by my mother and my father, what are the
the suitors that are like hood? It sisters, their sisters?
All worker is a worker, ideal worker, Acharya Acharya Tamil
courier same thing, the thing that will come knocking,
right? Korea, then selesa in America been worker, a person
asked about the punishment that is inevitable that will certainly
occur. That's another Surah where either shumsa cowrote. So he
mentioned these. So as you can understand, in some narration,
these are mentioned in some durations, the others are
mentioned. And there's some crossover there's some securities
in both, but there's some so it refers to generally any sorta that
have these verses that speak about the momentous day. And in order to
understand how to sort of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was so
concerned.
There are a number of narrations from our Isha to the Allahu Ana
because she used to see him at night in this state of asking
Allah subhanaw taala. Sometimes he would go away from the room. And
she followed him on this one night, and she found him in the
graveyard. So you've got many generations like that.
There's a narration about the salatu Kosuth the Eclipse prayer
where the prophets of Allah was made as such, though, and he made
such a prolonged such the frustration that he wasn't getting
up. He stayed in frustration.
And in the frustration, then people began to hear that he they
were blowing sounds like somebody is really weeping and crying,
crying sound and like blowing sound like really extreme sense of
crying.
And he was saying, that sort of loss of loss I'm saying rugby, and
I'm Terry Denny Allah to Aviva, whom we're on a fee him. Rugby RM
Diagne Allah to Acebo home, we're home your stuff your own. We're
not gonna stop you. Look.
This is what was observed and look at the state of the province of
Laurie Salem, where he knows he's all fine. He's got high places in
Ghana.
Remember I showed you the Allahu Allah was with Rasulullah
Salallahu Salam in Madina Munawwara. This was after the
Miraj after the ascension. In the ascension. The Rosa Lhasa was
shown His abode the highest places in Jana. So he had it all made,
and he knew it. There was no doubt about it. But then if you know
you're fine, but you are then still working for others, that
talks about selflessness that talks about serious real
compassion, genuine worry and concern. And remember that in this
search the profit and loss I'm saying, oh my lord, Didn't you
promise me that you will not punish them while I am among them?
Because maybe something had happened and he was concerned that
the punishment would come? Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't
punish them while I'm among them, then you
promise that you would not punish them as long as they continue to
seek forgiveness? So the first part refers to when Rasul Allah
says I'm still alive
But that shouldn't make us despondent because this part is
still around that you will not punish them as long as they seek
forgiveness. So I mean, you've heard of we've heard of
encouragement all the time of seeking forgiveness, at least
after Asia at least after fajr you know, pick one prayer at least
minimum we will just make a stick far for the day. Whether we know
we've done any sins or not. We haven't done any major sins we've
definitely done some minor since we can't avoid it.
Where we are so let's make some mistake far because it from this
we understand that as long as this default is going on, the
punishment will not come.
Because that shows that we still concern yes, we're weak but we're
still concerned. Once a person stops asking for forgiveness. It
shows of absolute heedlessness
and that serious
and then it also is a one stop. Look, we ask you for forgiveness.
So your punishment should not come in I'm going to be his related in
his collection of narrations and other verses and so on about the
hereafter it's called a tiff Kira. In there he relates that
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that, when this Sirat
when the causeway over hellfire, the bridge will be prepared my
Alma will say, why Mohammed Mohammed
O Muhammad O Muhammad
so I would run and hasten I would hurry the due to my compassion my
intense compassion should that the Ishfaq era him my intense concern
and grief about them worry about them whereas Gibreel Arisa will be
holding me back and saying holding me back like make you take an easy
I will then proclaim raising my voice rugby uma T rugby Almighty
Oh my lord, my OMA my Alma
la as a local Yeoman FC wala phi altimeter immunity. Today I don't
ask you about myself or even for my daughter Fatima. I asked you
from all of my OMA or Allah mentioned that when you see
narrations like that we would be so ungrateful if we didn't take on
some of that concern ourselves. If this is the concern of our Savior,
if this is the concern of our messenger, Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi salam who is doing this for us, we need to take on some of
this concern as well for his ummah. So now listen, saying that
whenever a man hears about anything like this, his muhabba
and love for Rasulullah sallallahu, Assam should increase.
Because if it doesn't, then seriously, we're not thinking
about it.
Because why wouldn't it increase? It's only if we just listening to
it as a fact, as a point, as a bit of information as some data. If
you give your heart to it, you will become concerned, your love
for Rasulullah sallallahu some will increase that such a man who
had it all made for him. And yet he worked hard for those years to
have this deen the way it is.
Number two, it should
increase the muhabba it should increase our reverence for him and
are wanting to be more like him. Because if this is the
characteristic of a human being that we know is forgiven, and he's
got so much compassion, then everything he is doing is
something that's to be emulated and followed. So it's another way
of understanding why he should be followed.
Follow his way
so that we do not come in front of him on the day of judgment with a
way that is strange to him. I know you guys, when you go somewhere
and you see somebody dressed like you're speaking your language,
don't you feel good about it? Seriously, even if you go to
another country, you just find some non Muslims from England. You
feel some relationship?
You know, let's just say you're in. I don't know, you know, you're
you're in
Hong Kong, okay. And you find some guys from England.
You know, you're gonna start talking about some stuff here.
There's just this sense of you know, we share so many different
things. So if we're like Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi
wasallam.
He's going to notice as an as Oh, yeah, these guys are mine. These
people are mine. It just makes it that much easier. The Prophet said
Allah Islam has worked so hard to have people happy, especially in
the hereafter. So, the next thing that this these orlimar say is
that we should also be trained to do that. We should also be taking
this concern and this effort of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and trying to have people make them happy, and be happy and
blissful in the hereafter especially. That's why
look after
Look after them, look for them, look out for them, try to help
them out support them. One of the main things is that there's a
great reward for the person who makes dua for the OMA of
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, because there's a hadith which
says that, the, the one, all older people are the bondsmen of Allah
subhanaw taala and Allah says that the closest to Allah subhanaw
taala is the one who's the best to his bondsman in general. That's
what most Allah some said. But here we understand that there is
great reward Rasul Allah, Allah says, reward is great, isn't it?
What's the biggest thing that he did? One of the biggest things he
did was to be concerned about the OMA and fulfill that mission of
us. Hence, if we take on a similar mission, and we want people to
have good in this world and the Hereafter, and you go and you help
people out and you call people and you make dua for them, all of
these things are included, all the way from giving Dawa, to making
dua for them, to everything. It's related from Hodeida his Salam is
it Allahumma fiddley Almighty Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, Allah Who Marham Omata Muhammad in sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, Allah who Mr Amata Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, Allahu muchbetter Amata Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. If people read that, they will be written as very pious
individuals because of your concern. Look at look at the DUA
you're making.
Oh Allah have mercy on the Ummah, on the entire Omar Muhammad
salallahu Alaihe Salam, O Allah, conceal the faults of the Ummah of
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam, O Allah.
The next one is, Oh Allah fulfill the defects meaning, correct the
defects, reform the defects, the OMA Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
salam,
whoever the other must say that whoever reads this dua day in and
day out, makes it part of their to us
with the intention, the reward, His rewards will be His rewards
will be increased.
And
things should be facilitated for him. Because they say that if you
make dua for others, Allah gives you back. If you make dua for the
entire Ummah, or Muhammad salallahu Alaihe Salam, we're
gonna get back a lot. I remember one of our shifts, they said if
you want your doors to be accepted, then read a number of
times in your DUA Allahumma filial Muslim in our Muslim at
our Allah forgive the Muslim men and women a number of times within
your DUA because you're making dua for others, Allah subhanaw taala
loves that. He loves concern that a person has for others. And
that's why they say that Abu Bakr Siddiq are the Allah one. He had a
very high status. Yes, he's too fast a lot. He used to pray a lot
and everything. But it wasn't because of those things that he
reached where he did. It was something in his heart. It was the
compassion that he had in his heart. That compassion is very
important. May Allah give us that compassion? Because if everybody
carries that compassion, they'd be no problem in Syria.
You know, they'd be no problem wherever you are.
Some some people, I mean, I'm going off on a tangent. But you
wonder how these people in Syria these forces can do what they're
doing to their own people.
Seriously, their own people? You think that it was the Israelis
doing this? You know, we were totally concerned when Abu Ghraib
took place when the Americans did it, and when the British did it,
but these are Arabs, some of them are probably Muslim as well. We
say some of them because and this gives us an idea of why this is
even possible. Because weed
Muslims are can do this as well. If you look in history, they've
done it had judging the use of is one of the biggest examples of
that. So it's human trait. It's human nature, it's human weakness
to do these things, okay, so it's possible let me just make that
clear. It's possible because the religion for somebody is only as
good as he follows as much as he follows the religion is going to
impose that okay, I say La ilaha illAllah. Halas I'm changed now.
You're supposed to change but it's you. That's why it's a test in
this world is not automatic. But it's primarily they know series.
They are
worse than the followers of Khomeini. Khomeini, the twelvers
as they call them, they don't believe Ali really Allahu Anhu to
be God or divine. They just believe that he should have been
maybe the first belief
over Abu Bakr nama or the Allah Juan and then they curse or Abu
Bakr and Omar. But these people have these are a minority. There
are a minority that Eloise Mercedes, they their beliefs reach
the level that I leave it alone is divine.
Like God
It's a crazy belief
but they will think that everybody else is a careful for them. The
next hadith is her Hadith number 42 which is related from Abu
Hanifa on the Allah one not a Sahaba same you hear that often.
He is quite a famous Narita, there is quite a famous Sahabi though
the profit and loss and passed away and he had not even become
valid yet. So he was not adolescent during the time
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, but he seemed to have a great zeal to
learn things, and he would be around sort of Lasala some it
seems that's why you have 50 Hadith that are related from him
50 Hadith that are related from him about a sort of loss of Allah
Islam. So he picked up these things when he was young
to have those iron Buhari three Muslim anyway in this generation,
he says, he reports Abuja Hey follow the Allah and reports that
the Sahaba would say or maybe Abubaker the leader would say he's
just a call they would say the Sahaba ya rasool Allah Naraka
courtship. So he may be referring to a worker the allowance account
that era will Allah we see that you have now become old. The
effects of oldness coming over you called a che Yeah, but knew who do
ahava to her who then it sisters it's like Soros have made me old
Imams the machete who is a professor of the Quran and
mortality but overseer of the Quran, he says that he has come
across a story in which a person went to sleep. His his hair was
totally black. A young guy, jet black hair, went to sleep wakes up
in the morning with white hair.
Totally white. What's going on what's happened to you? He says in
my dream I saw the Day of Judgment. And the people were
being pulled towards the Hellfire with chains. And it was just so
dreadful.
It was just so frightening and so dreadful that I have become as I
have really impacted him.
I've my hairs become white. It says that that day will be like
that it will just be a
one of the worst things that you have. You know, can you imagine
you're sleeping one day and then you hear it is a really bad
scream. Just think about it.
What are you going to you've just you just woken out of your seat
with this bad sound.
You could be as clever as you unless you unless you work in the
movies and you're in you know your
your practice this where these screams happen, you know you've
done some training, anybody would be freaked out. So today we're
generally supposed to be worse than anything like that. Well
otaku caldina, Salah Anselm and Fusa home, we're supposed to be
concerned about the hereafter, we actually supposed to think about
it. The rest of us have encouraged that. So it's not like we
shouldn't think about it and we should protect our white hair or
black hair. You shouldn't be thinking about it. Subhanallah
because it says that, as Allah subhanaw taala says that don't
become like those who forgot Allah. And the best thing to do
was to be reminded about the reality of Allah subhanaw taala
standing front of him is the Hereafter. May Allah give us that
flicker and that concern
is related in Bulka. We shall who sunnah from Sahabi he says, I saw
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam in a dream after the parser was passed
away. I saw a dream. And no, it's not from a Sahabi sorry, somebody
some way of Allah. He says I saw sort of Lhasa loathsome in my
dream. And I had this question in my mind. The prophecy was had said
that he would and it sisters had made me old. I wanted to find out
exactly which I because it's probably not referring to the
entire surah. You know, so I said, you know, it's related from you
that you said who then it sisters have a hood has made me old?
He says, Yes, he says which I wasn't. He says first OChem comma
omit.
That is the IEA first takim comma omitted which means remain
steadfast as you have been ordered, not remain steadfast, as
much as possible. Not remain steadfast, as much as you think
you can. But as much as you have been ordered. That is difficult.
That's why they say that to remain steadfast and Edina. We all know
that. Sometimes we can make fun and sometimes we can't. Sometimes
we can abstain from things and sometimes we can't we have the
states. Can you imagine being under step of throughout? That's a
very difficult task. They say that to achieve that if you've achieved
that for even a week that's better than any Kurama that you could see
any miracle that would that could manifest itself on you. Because
what's, you know, the miracle, what's it going to do for you?
This, you've practiced it, you've achieved it. You've achieved
steadfastness that is so important.
So that is the idea that really concerned him. But that's not to
be taken as an absolute. It's not just about that. That's just one
aspect of it.
If the prophets, Allah lorrison, with his Esma his protection, if
he's got so much concern, and this is what happens, then, you know,
it's something that we have to really be considered concerned
about. There's so many stories that are mentioned, it's related
from a tsunami. Once we went out with Aruba, who was a young boy,
we were walking, and suddenly, we went past an area.
And he fell down and fainted. He fell down unconscious. So his
companions were with him, they sat down next to him.
They began to cry what's going on, he just suddenly fainted for
nothing, nothing happened.
It was very cold. But
he was so hot that he was sweating.
So eventually, they brought some water, they put it over him. And
when he came back to consciousness, they asked him what
had happened. He said that I just remembered when he got to this
area that I had performed I had committed a sin here
then I'd forgotten about you when I came back to this place.
That's what happened I just remembered and that was how
frightening it was. Can you imagine them committing other sins
and
if if the remainder of this that okay, these were my bad days and
this is what I used to do here, so people are going past a club, this
is what I used to go and you know, crying that this is the kind of
modern contextualization of that that would be they made a point on
this bucket I knew who llama bucket I know Calvi what hola Buka

His eyes cried when the eyes of his heart began to cry.
If it wasn't for the crying of the eyes, nobody would know what his
problem was.
With the fear of Allah subhanaw taala the healthy nature of his
body was melted. And by his Taqwa his cover of youth was worn out.
That that's what your taqwa that's what the person's Taqwa would do
to him. may move no Mahan relates that when the idea came down,
we're in Niger Hanuman mo where Edo Himeji Marine, the Verity
Jahannam is a promise for all of them. It's a place and abode that
is promised for all of them. Salman al Farsi to the Allahu Anhu
shrieked, put his hand on his mouth on his head. And he, he went
out for three days and then come back. He went out into the jungle
or the woods of the desert, wherever he went for three days
didn't come back. They couldn't they couldn't find them. He just
went and hid somewhere just out of concern for this. We wonder why we
can't do something like that.
It's because our recognition doesn't get that far. Our insight
doesn't get that far, we're just so immersed in things that we love
so much that we can't think about the hereafter enough. It's very
difficult to explain. We do get moments in our life when we feel
that they don't stay long enough though.
If only they could just stay long enough, we'd be more concerned.
May Allah subhanho wa Taala give us that concern for our hereafter
because that is really what's going to be a value afterwards.
The next hadith is 100 is 43, which is related from abroad into
a Tamie.
He says I came to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam with my
child, he had gone to visit the professor lorrison with his child.
And it may have been the first time that he went to see
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam so he didn't know he looked. So the word
says for Odie, to who offer arrivato which so in one reading
it would be I was shown the Prophet alayhi salam, somebody
pointed him out to me, or that I showed my son to the Prophet
sallallahu sallam.
And when that happened,
I said when I saw him to my son, I said had an OB Allah, this is the
prophet of Allah. Now, the purpose of bringing this narration here is
what he says later, he says at that time, the prophets Allah
Islam had to green he had a suit of green cloth. His suit was made
of green cloth so you had top and bottom of green. So that's suna it
could also refer to the fact that just as in the red that it was
white with reddish lines in this case it's greenish line so it
could just be completely green. So it's possible
but we learned learned from Red that we learn about red that that
isn't you know that's not so now because that's a women's color
right for men and so we have to do some that we'll and interpret a
hadith accordingly. In this one, we've got support for this hadith
because it's a color of Jana its color of some of the cloth in Jana
as well.
Well, because it's kind of halfway between white and white is
sometimes too bright. And black is too dark. Green is in between
problems you got everybody's wearing black nowadays. Just look,
everybody's wearing black. I didn't mean to mention here, but
you know, we've got a fair share of black here as well. None
nothing wrong with it. Nothing wrong with it. But
I remember I had a black hat in Syria when I was studying in
Syria, and
no, sorry, it was it was an American there was a Syrian
brother. He said no change that had that in Syria. It's only the
Christian priests that were blackheads. Right? That's just
that's just a very geo centric kind of idea. That's, there's no,
nothing wrong with wearing black. I'm just saying.
But you know what, on Fridays, you should wear being a private
citizen, Jeremy encouraged why he said that Bury Your shout, you're
dead in it. And you're living people should wear it as well. So
there is a general so because in that sense, it's a sunnah. In that
sense, we should try to observe it, at least on a weekly basis, or
some regular basis. So where why on at least some days or the
other? As much as you can?
I mean, it might be difficult to turn up at work with a white suit
on, right, but that's fine. You know, just wear the white when you
can
write the next Hadith. Well, actually, you know, he doesn't,
he's not finished yet. He says what he thought Bernie had on, he
had a suit of green cloth, what or who showered on the other who
shave on his hair, you could see that there was some whiteness that
was that was prominent on it. So he noticed the white he doesn't
say how much but he says that there was some there was some
whiteness, but the one additional detail he mentions here is where
Shaybah who armour, his white, his white hair, his green hair such
was reddish. That's understood a Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam.
That would give us some understanding of maybe support for
the next chapter, in which it's about dyeing the hair.
Right. So, or some aroma. Some commentators have mentioned that
before it becomes completely white, it becomes slightly
reddish. So that's what he noticed was the right reddish tint tinge.
Otherwise, the possibilities are because oil it looked red in the
sun. There's all sorts of possibilities but he's the only
one who mentioned that it was a reddish tinge on it.
Hadith number 44 The last hadith of this chapter is from Seema
Cubano, Herb, who says that somebody asked jab at me with some
water, another Sahabi he's mentioned a hadith before in this
book as well. Again, if you're not see Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam Shaban somebody asked jabber but the hola Juan was the
whiteness in the head of Rasulullah sallallahu it was
salam.
Ala Lamia Confederacy. Rasulullah sallallahu it was cinema Shaban
Illa Sheraton FEMA for Rocky ROTC. There was no white in Rasulullah
Lawson's hair except some hairs a few at the joint at the partying.
So that's where we understand that there was some add the partying
because honestly the owner doesn't explain where they were all in
some he says below the lip. In some it says on the side. We hear
from this that they were also some there so that's where you
understand that from.
And then he says he then explains that either. Danna a few more
frackie ROTC he either Danna, what are our Hoonah dune?
Yeah, so he the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he's saying that
his hair he had some at the potting. And when and he just
mentioned that when he would use oil or when he would oil his hair.
He says it in two ways. So when that would happen, then because
the hair would
come together. You couldn't see them.
So with that, we are in this chapter. The next chapter is on
the dying of the have Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
followed by the chapter after that is about the antimony the Sodoma
in the eyes of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, Allahu
