May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the meaning of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement: "I was shown the city of your migration: a salty land with palm trees, between two black rocky mountains"? What is the meaning of "sibkha"?
Answer:
A "sibkha" is land that you do not know? Glory be to Allah. A "sibkha" is land that contains salt; land that contains salt and does not grow vegetation. It may grow on the edges, but it does not grow grass or crops.
