Sahih Muslim 2344a (Book 43, Hadith 141) #13166
Physical Appearance of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the physical appearance of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and how it changed with age.

Jabir b. Samura was asked about the old age of Allah's Apostle . He said: When he oiled his head nothing was seen (as a mark of old age) and when he did not apply oil something (of the old age) became visible.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ، بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ، سُئِلَ عَنْ شَيْبِ النَّبِيِّ، فَقَالَ كَانَ إِذَا دَهَنَ رَأْسَهُ لَمْ يُرَ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ وَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْهُنْ رُئِيَ مِنْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the physical appearance of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and how it changed with age. It was narrated by Jabir b. Samura that when the prophet ﷺ applied oil to his head, no signs of old age were visible on him but when he did not apply oil something became visible as a sign of old age. This hadith teaches us that even though our physical appearance changes with time due to aging, we should still take care of ourselves and maintain good hygiene habits in order to look presentable at all times regardless of our age.

It also teaches us that we should always respect people regardless their physical appearances or ages as Allah looks at our hearts rather than our outward appearances. We should also strive to emulate the example set by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in terms of taking care for ourselves and respecting others despite their ages or appearances.
