Signs of Age in the Prophet (ﷺ).

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) had a few white hairs between his lower lip and chin when he was old.

Narrated Hariz bin 'Uthman: That he asked 'Abdullah bin Busr (ie the companion of the Prophet), "Did you see the Prophet when he was old?" He said, "He had a few white hairs between the lower lip and the chin".
حَدَّثَنَا عِصَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرِيزُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ بُسْرٍ صَاحِبَ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ شَيْخًا قَالَ كَانَ فِي عَنْفَقَتِهِ شَعَرَاتٌ بِيضٌ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the signs of age in the beloved prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is narrated by Hariz bin 'Uthman that he asked Abdullah bin Busr if he saw the prophet when he was old and Abdullah replied that there were a few white hairs between his lower lip and chin. This hadith teaches us to respect our elders no matter how they look or what age they are at because even our beloved prophet Muhammad ﷺ showed signs of aging like having white hairs on his face. We should also remember that aging is natural and it happens to everyone so we should not be ashamed or embarrassed about it but instead embrace it as part of life's journey.
