Why was the letter "waw" (and) not mentioned in 'Umar's narration: "intensely white of clothes, intensely black of hair"?
What was mentioned describes the characteristics of a man, and the omission of the conjunction here is a matter of consecutive adjectives, which is common in the Arabic language and in the Holy Qur’an, as in the verses: "Those who repent, those who worship, those who praise, those who journey, those who bow, those who prostrate," "He is Allah, besides Whom there is no god; the Sovereign, the Holy, the Source of Peace, the Giver of security, the Overseer, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Supremely Great," and "Perhaps his Lord, if he divorces you, will exchange you for wives better than you, submissive [to Allah], believing, obedient, repenting."
