The hair and hearing of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)

His hair:

 

Hadhrat Khalid bin Walid (May Allah be well pleased with him) participated in many battles.  The opposing army would be many times greater than the Muslim army.  Still, Hadhrat Khalid bin Walid (May Allah be well pleased with him) would come back victorious.  Hadhrat Khalid (May Allah be well pleased with him) himself says:

 

Translation of Hadith: The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) performed an Umrah and ordered His head to be shaved. Other people were taking the hair which were on the sides of His head. I went forward and took the hair which were on the top of His head i.e. the hair above the forehead and kept those hair in my cap. Whenever I wore this cap in any battle, I was helped and returned victorious. (Khasais Kubra Vol 1, Pg No: 68, Fath ul Bari bab manaqibi Khalid ibn al Walid raziallahu anhu, Vol 7, Pg No: 471, Hujjatullahi alal alameen Pg No: 489)

 

Gaining blessings from his hair:

 

Hadhrat Osman bin Abdullah (May Allah be well pleased with him) narrates that my wife gave me a bowl of water and sent me to Hadhrat Umme Salma (May Allah be well pleased with him).  It was her i.e. his mother’s custom that whenever anybody fell ill, she would send a big container of water to Hadhrat Umme Salma (May Allah be well pleased with him).  Hadhrat Umme Salma (May Allah be well pleased with him) had the hair of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) which she kept in a silver casing.  She would dip the silver casing in the water and the affected people would drink that water.  The narrator says: I looked in the silver casing. It had some red hair of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). (Sahih Bukhari Vol 2, Pg No: 875. Zujajatul Masabeeh, Vol 3, Pg No: 442, Mishkat ul Masabeeh Pg No: 391)

 

His hearing:

 

Sounds from near and far are the same for the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).  He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) would be seated on this earth and would hear the creaking of the sky.  It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abuzar Ghifari (May Allah be well pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam): I see what you can’t, I hear what you can’t.  The sky creaks and its creaking is necessary.  For there is not a span of even a hand’s width that is not filled with angels prostrating before the Lord Almighty Allah. (Jame Tirmidhi, Vol 2, Pg No: 57)

 

Whenever any follower of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) calls out to Him, He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) hears the call and helps that follower.

 

Ummul Momineen Hadhrat Maimoona (May Allah be well pleased with him) says that on a certain night, she heard the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) saying while in the washroom: “You have been helped, You have been helped.”  She asked Him (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) about this.  He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) replied it was a person from Bani Ka’ab who requested me for help.

 

Hearing the voice of the moon:

 

Imam Suyuti (May Allah shower His mercy on him) has related a Hadith in Khasais ul Kubra on the authority of Baihaqi, Sabuni, Khateeb and Ibn e Asakar. Hadhrat Abbas (May Allah be well pleased with him) narrates that he told the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam): O Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), a sign of Your Prophethood made me embrace Islam.  I saw You in Your cradle.  You would talk to the moon.  Wherever You would point Your hand, the moon would move there.  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: I talked to it and it talked to Me. It played with Me.  When it would prostrate under the ‘Arsh, I would hear the sound of its falling.
