حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَمْشَاذَ الْعَدْلُ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ أَنَّ حَجَّاجَ بْنَ مِنْهَالٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا ثَابِتٌ قَالَ
قِيلَ لِأَنَسٍ مَا كَانَ شِيبَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «مَا شَانَهُ اللَّهُ بِالشَّيْبِ مَا كَانَ فِي رَأْسِهِ إِلَّا سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ أَوْ ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ»
