Al-Gurr Al-Mayāmīn


Al-Gurr Al-Mayāmīn [1]

1] Trans. Note: This phrase literally means, “The Blessed White Ones”. The “…White Ones…” is referring to the Hadīth of Abū Hurayrah, may Allāh be pleased with him, that the Prophet,صلى الله عليه وسلم, said, “Verily, my Ummah will be called on the Day of Resurection as Ghurran Muhajjalīn, due to the effects of the Wudhū’” Narrated by Al-Bukhārī, Muslim, and others. “Ghurran” refers to a brightness or whiteness that appears on the heads of horses, and “Muhajjilīn” refers to a brightness or whiteness that appears on the limbs of horses.
