The questioner:
And Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about a people who dye their hair black in the end times.
The Shaykh:
Like the crop of pigeons, what is the meaning of "like the crop of pigeons"? It means whiteness; that is, there becomes whiteness. You see those who dye their hair; the roots of the hair come out white, because the hair grows every day, so something white appears, and it becomes disfigured; the person becomes disfigured. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
This is what the poet says: "Its top is black, but its roots refuse [to be black], and there is no good in a branch if the root is corrupt."
