EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the length of the Prophet Muhammad's hair. According to Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin, his hair was between wafrah and jummah. Wafrah is a term used to describe short hair that does not reach the ears while jummah is a term used to describe long hair that reaches below the shoulders. Therefore, this hadith suggests that the Prophet Muhammad's hair was neither too short nor too long but somewhere in between these two lengths. This hadith teaches us an important lesson about moderation in all aspects of life including our physical appearance and grooming habits. We should strive for balance in all areas of our lives instead of going to extremes or indulging in excesses.
