"عَن أَبى قبيل المعافرى، قال: دخل عمرُو بنُ العاصِ على عمرَ بْنِ الخطاب، وقد صبغَ رأسَه ولِحيتَه بالسَّوادِ، فقال عمر: من أنتَ؟ فقال: أنا عَمرو بن العاصِ، فقال عمر: عهدى بك شيخًا، وأنت اليومَ شابٌّ، عزمتُ عليك إِلا ما غَسَلتَ هَذَا السوادَ".

"Narrated from Abu Qabil al-Ma'afiri: 'Amr ibn al-'As entered upon 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, having dyed his head and beard black. 'Umar said: 'Who are you?' He said: 'I am 'Amr ibn al-'As.' 'Umar said: 'I knew you as an old man, and today you are a young man. I insist that you wash off this black.'"
