أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ سُئِلَ عَنْ شَيْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : " كَانَ إِذَا ادَّهَنَ رَأْسَهُ لَمْ يُرَ مِنْهُ ، وَإِذَا لَمْ يُدَّهَنْ رُئِيَ مِنْهُ " .
´It was narrated that Simak said:` "I heard Jabir bin Samurah being asked about the gray hairs of the Prophet [SAW]. He said: 'If he put oil on his head they could not be seen, but if he did not put oil on his head, they could be seen.'"
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
It is understood that applying oil to the hair of the head and the beard is recommended (mustahabb), because the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) himself used to apply oil to his blessed head and blessed beard. The beard of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was thick. Furthermore, there were a few white hairs in the front part of his blessed head and blessed beard, which would not appear white when oil was applied. See: (Sahih Muslim, al-Fada’il, Chapter: Affirmation of the Seal of Prophethood, its Description, and its Place on His Body (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Hadith: 2344)
