Abdullah ibn Umar mentioned the hadith that there

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

are 11, some say 17 white hairs on

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

the entire head of the prophet Muhammad sallallahu

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

alaihi wasallam. And they're concentrated at the temples.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

And he said,

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

This is from the Surah and its and

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

its sisters, meaning the few surahs after it.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

Why does he mention this? Why is this

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

important? Why do we have to know the

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

number of white hairs on the head of

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam?

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

Why did the Sahaba mention it? They mention

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

it because they loved him.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

They loved him.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

And when you love someone,

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

you wanna know everything about that person,

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

don't you?

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

You just don't wanna know what that person

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

said, but how did they say it? What

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

did they look like? How did they walk?

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

How did they talk? How did they eat?

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

This is why the Sahaba mentioned these things

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

because they're annihilated,

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

and the love of the prophet

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

And this love is for fisabilillah.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

This is for the sake of Allah subhanahu

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

wa ta'ala.
