What is the answer to those who cite the actions of some of the Salaf as evidence for the permissibility of dyeing the beard black?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the opinion of those who dye their beards with pure black? When we mention to them the warning of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that they will not smell the scent of Paradise, they cite the actions and deeds of some of the Salaf and some of the scholars as evidence. What is the ruling in this matter?

Answer:
My brother, I have no opinion other than the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), as long as the Messenger said it. He said that they will not enter Paradise. This is a warning, or its meaning is that they are disbelievers, but its meaning is that they are exposed to the warning, exposed to entering the Fire. So we say what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, even if a scholar contradicts him. The criterion is the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
