[Machine] Muhammad ibn Sireen used to say, "Do not follow the grain until it becomes white."  

البيهقي:١٠٦١٧ – وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ

أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ سِيرِينَ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَا تَبِعِ الْحَبَّ فِي سُنْبُلِهِ حَتَّى يَبْيَضَّ
