Question: I attend many gatherings where we show respect to the Baal(Hair) Mubaarak of Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam. I always wanted to know what is the significance of the hair of Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam and how did we come do have it in our possession? As I have a great respect for it, but do not possess the knowledge in understanding the wisdom behind it. Can you assist in this matter? Jazaakallah.
Answer: Regarding the Sacred Hair of Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam:
Before going into the details of how great it actually is, one needs for firstly ascertain how is it that people have in their possession the Sacred Hair of our Beloved Prophet (peace be upon him)...
Hazrath
Anas mentions that during hajj, Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa
Sallam stoned the Jamarah, then Shaved his Hair, from the right
side, and called for Hazrath Abu Talhah Radiyallahu Anhu. He then shaved
the left side, and called for Hazrath Abu Talhah Radiyallahu Anhu once
more, and presented it to him. Thereafter Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam
said, "Distribute it to the people". (Sahih Muslim, Vol.1
; Mishkaat)
(A Summary of this hadith can also be found in Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.1)
Hazrath Anas Radiyallahu anhu states, "I saw the Messenger (peace be upon him) getting his hair shaved, and the companions placing their hands so that his blessed hair does not touch the ground" (Sahih Muslim.Vol.2 ; Shifa, Vol.2)
The
companions had a tremendous amount of respect for his Blessed hair. This
was distributed amongst the Companions and has been passed on from generation
to generation. Statistics prove that there is an average of between 100,000-200,000
strands of hair on the head of a person. This is why we find many people
with the Sacred Hair in their possession today.
Question: So why did they possess this great respect
and reverence for the Sacred Hair?
Answer: The Qur'an has discussed on many occasions that simple and ordinary objects become extraordinary once they are linked to someone or something which is loved by Allah. The water of Zam Zam is the longest flowing spring / well in the history of mankind. This is due to the fact that the very first drops had touched the blessed feet of Nabi Ismaeel (alayhis salaam). Similarly, muslims are commanded in Surah Al-Baqarah to perform salaah at the Maqaam e Ibraheem (alayhis salaam). It was just an ordinary stone, but once the Blessed feet of Nabi Ebrahim (alayhis salaam) was placed on it who utilised it as a scaffolding and the image of his foot became imprinted on it, it became extraordinary, to the extent that Muslims from all over the world pay their respect to this Symbol of Allah after every tawaaf by reciting two raka’ats of salaah there.
Question: Why do muslims today pour water over the Sacred Hair and then drink it?
Answer: Ummol Mu'mineen, Hazrath Umme Salamah Radiyallahu Anhaa used to keep the Blessed Hair of Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam in her possession. When anyone was ill, they would come to her and she would pour water on it, then ask them to drink it. (Mishkaath Shareef with reference to Sahih Al-Bukhari)
It was her belief that once water passed through the Sacred hair , then it would become a means of cure for those who are ill. Being the wife of the Beloved Messenger (peace be uopon him) I am sure she would have a better insight into the greatness of Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam than most.
Hazrath Khaalid Bin Waleed Radiyallahu Anhu once during a fierce encounter with a kaafir (disbeliever),he dropped his Turban. Instead of defending his life, his concentration was fixed on the safety of the turban. After killing the Kaafir, he was asked about his reaction to which he replied by saying that he was not defending the Turban, but that which was embedded within it i.e a few strands of the Blessed Hair of Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam. (Omdatul Qaari, which is a commentary of Sahih Al Bukhari ; Shifa Shareef)
Hazrath Khalid Bin Waleed Radiyallahu Anhu was given the title of "Saifullah" (sword of Allah) due to his excellence in the art of war. He regarded the safety of the Baal Mubaarak as a priority over his own life. This proves that the Companions had a tremendous reverence for the Sacred Hair.
Hazrath Seereen mentioned to Hazrath Ubaidah that he had received the Baal Mubarak (Hair) from Hazrath Anas Radiyallahu Anhu, and that he loved it more than the world, and all things within it. (Sahih Bukhari, Vol.1)
Subhaanallah! Their love for Baal Mubarak (Hair) was immense. Since they are our guiding stars in the darkness of the night, we follow in their footsteps and display our love and reverence for the Baal Mubaarak.

Be Yourself, No Matter What...
There was this man who saw a scorpion floundering around in the water. He decided to save it by stretching out his finger, but the scorpion stung him. The man still tried to get the scorpion out of the water, but the scorpion stung him again. Another man nearby told him to stop saving the scorpion that kept stinging him. But the man said, "It is the nature of the scorpion to sting. It is my nature to love. Why should I give up my nature to love just because it is the nature of the scorpion to sting?"
LESSON: Don't give up loving. Don't give up your goodness even if the people around you sting you. The greatness does not come when things are always going well for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes... Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
