White Hair

Seeing one's black hair turning white in the dream means that he will gain credibility and respect among his people.

White hair in those who respect it, such as scholars, the poor andpeople of prominence, rep resents glory and high status. If one of themdreams that his beard has turned white, he will attain glory and status,because when Ibraaheem (May Allah be please with him) saw that his beard was filled with whitehairs, he said: O Lord, what is this? It was revealed to him: This isdignity, O Ibraaheem. He said: If this is dignity then increase me indignity. And his beard became white like cotton. But for those who do not respect it, such as soldiers, young men andwomen, it signifies worries, trouble and loss of livelihood. Undoubtedlyworry hastens the appearance of white hair, hence white hair is a signof trouble. Al - Zamakhshari narrated that a man dreamt that he saw theterrors of the Day of Resurrection, and when he woke up he found thathis beard had turned w hite. My Shaykh, Shihaab - ud - Deen al - Quraafi, narrated that a righteousman who was known as Jamaal - ud - Deen said: In Aleppo, I saw a manwith completely white hair walking behind a middle aged man, and Ithought that the middle - aged man was the son of the whit e - haired man. I said to him: Don't you feel ashamed to walk in front of your father? He said: Rather I am the father. Then he turned to the one whose hair was all white and said: O Muhammad, tell your uncle what happened toyou. He said: I was sick and they thought that I had died, so they buriedme. Then I woke up in the grave and shouted my father's name, thenmy mother's name, then the servant's name, but no one answered me. Isaid: They have gone to sleep and left me, and they have extinguishedthe lamp. The n I wanted to lift my leg or turn over, but I could not,and I realized that I was in the grave. I screamed and fell unconscious. Then I woke up and screamed a second time, then I fell unconscious. Iscreamed a third time and fell unconscious. When I woke up, I heard thesound of digging in the grave and I thought: This is a hyena and this iswhat has been decreed for me, to die as prey. Then the digger sneezed,and I realised that he was a grave robber. I wanted to speak to him, butI was afraid that he would get scared and leave me. When he lifted meup and took my shroud, I grabbed him. He screamed and dropped dead,so I took hold of his feet and threw him into the grave. Then I wrappedmyself in my shroud and went to the gate of the city, and entered whenit was opened. I 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 isnot blessed with wealth, then no one is going to love him. A woman said: I dreamt that I got a white hair. Shaykh Shihaabud - Deen said: You are going to have some trouble from an old man. Apoor woman dreamt that, and she said: It is as if it was in the winter. He said to her: You will get a white garment and it may be given by anold man. A man for whom white hair is befitting dreamt that he was a youngman. He said to him: You will get a white garment. Another man dreamtthat and he said: You will get a garment from a man of high status. Aman for whom white hair is not befitting dreamt that his hair turnedwhite and he said to him: A lov ed one of yours who is wearing white formourning will die. A boy dreamt that and he said: Some crops of yourswill be ruined. A man said: I dreamt that I was eating my white hair. He said: Youwill sell a tree when it starts to blossom or you will sell your crops whenthey become ripe and will consume the price.
