al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2703

Translation

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ would not change his gray hair. He was asked about that: "Why do you not change it, when Abu Bakr ؓ used to change it?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'Whoever grows gray in Islam, it will be light for him on the Day of Resurrection,' and I will not change my gray hair."
