Classical meaning
wrappedmyself in my shroud and went to the gate of the city, and entered whenit was opened. went to one of my father’s friends and told him mystory, and he let me in and fed me. Then my father came to him and hesaid to him: Go with me to the grave. He said to him: Doctor so and sotold me that your son did not die and if you give him such and such, hewill bring him out. He said: There is no way that this can be true. If it istrue, he would have died from the distress of the grave. And my motherwas with him. He said to him: Do not be a miser. I have already givenhim the money that I had and we brought him out, and here he is as youcan see. When they saw me, they both screamed and fell unconscious,then they woke up and found that my beard had turned white from thehorror of what I had seen. White hair is also indicative of a dispute between the spouses,because women dislike white hairs. It is narrated that ‘Abd - Allah ibn Marwaan said to one of his slavewomen, who is the dearest of men to you (women)? She said: The onewhose cheek is like ours. He said: And otherwise? She said: The onewhose hair is like our hair. He said: And otherwise? She said: One who is like you, O Ameer al - Mu ’ mineen. If an old man has no power and is not blessed with wealth, then no one is going to love him. A woman said: I dreamt that I got a white hair. Shaykh Shihaabud -
Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
