The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in the hadith what is the meaning of “like the crops of pigeons”? It means whiteness; that is, whiteness appears in it. You see those who dye their hair; the roots of the hair come out white because the hair grows longer every day, and something white emerges, so it becomes disfigured.
The Shaykh:
This is advice for the person.
The presenter:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
The poet says: Its top turns black, but its roots refuse [to do so], and there is no good in a branch if the root is corrupt.
