O Allah, shower Your mercy upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and his wives and his offspring, as You showered Your mercy upon the family of Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam), and shower Your blessings upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and his wives and his offspring, as You showered Your blessings upon the family of Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam). Indeed You are praiseworthy and most glorious.

Hazrat Waa’il (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) Has His Hair Cut

Hazrat Waa’il bin Hujar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) says:

I once visited Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) when the hair on my head was extremely long. While I was sitting with him, he uttered the words, “Zubaab, Zubaab” (meaning something evil). I thought that he was referring to my hair. I returned home and immediately had my hair cut.

The next day, when I went to visit him again, he said, “I was not referring to your hair when I uttered those words yesterday. Anyway, it is good that you had your hair cut.” (Sunan Abi Dawood #4190)

This action of this Sahaabi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reflects the true love he possessed for Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) within his heart. No sooner did he doubt that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was displeased with him on account of his long hair, he immediately had his hair cut. One can well imagine that if this was the level of the love they possessed, where just a mere doubt of Hazrat Rasulullah’s (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) displeasure would make them uneasy, then could it have been possible for them to disobey the command of Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) or go against his mubaarak sunnah?

يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَ سَلِّمْ دَائِمًا أَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيبِكَ خَيرِ الخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
