The Blessed Hair of The Prophet
الْانبیاءِ فَنَبِیُّ اللہ حَیٌّ یُّرْزَقُ ‘Indeed Allah has forbidden the earth to devour the bodies of the prophets. So, all the prophets of Allah Almighty are alive, receiving sustenance.’[1] From this narration it is established that the disintegration of their blessed bodies is impossible. As the blessed hair is part of the beloved Prophet’s body, it also shares this virtue.”
Hearing this, the young man began to cry again and said, “By Allah Almighty! All my doubts have been dispelled, and I have certainty that the beloved strands of hair are real.”
I thanked Allah Almighty. The people were very happy, and that young man became a true devotee of the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .[2]
Dear Islamic brothers! We learn another beautiful point from this incident. The young man who had some doubt in his heart relating to the blessed strands of the Prophetic hair and repeatedly demanded proof was taken to the erudite scholar of that time, a true devotee, Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Muṣṭafā al-AꜤẓamī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه to receive satisfactory answers to his objections.
It was as though the people of the locality knew where his malady would be cured. Then, such a beautiful manner was employed by the shaykh in explaining matters to that young man with knowledge and wisdom. The blessings of this manifested in him understanding his errors, expressing his regret, being shameful of his approach and repenting.
If we ever face a scenario of this nature, we should neither try to argue ourselves nor direct the confused person to someone who is of deviant
