حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَسُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنْ خِضَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَابَ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا، وَلَكِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ بَعْدَهُ خَضَبَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ. قَالَ: وَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِأَبِيهِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ يَحْمِلُهُ حَتَّى وَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: لَوْ أَقْرَرْتَ الشَّيْخَ فِي بَيْتِهِ لَأَتَيْنَاهُ، تَكْرِمَةً لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَأَسْلَمَ وَلِحْيَتُهُ وَرَأْسُهُ كَالثَّغَامَةِ بَيَاضًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: غَيِّرُوهُمَا وَجَنِّبُوهُ السَّوَادَ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ hardly had any gray hair, but Abu Bakr and Umar after him dyed with henna and katam. He said: And Abu Bakr brought his father Abu Quhafah to the Messenger of God ﷺ on the day of the conquest of Makkah, carrying him until he placed him before the Messenger of God ﷺ. The Messenger of God ﷺ said to Abu Bakr: If you had kept the old man in his house, we would have come to him, as an honor to Abu Bakr. Then he embraced Islam while his beard and head were as white as the thaghamah plant. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: Change them and keep black away from him.
