EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of respecting one's age and not trying to hide it by plucking out white hairs. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Sh'uaib from his father, that his grandfather said that the Messenger of Allah(PBUH) forbade plucking out white hairs and said "It is the light of the believer." This means that when a person ages gracefully and does not try to hide their age with artificial means such as dyeing or plucking out their hair, they are rewarded for this act with divine light. This hadith teaches us to accept our age gracefully and be proud of it instead of trying to hide it away. It also teaches us to respect our elders who have gone through life's journey before us and have earned wisdom along the way.
