Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2196b
"عن أسلم أنه التمسَ لعمرَ وَضوءًا فلم يجده إلا عند نَصْرانِيَّةٍ، فاستوهَبها، ثم جاء به إلى عمرَ فأعجبَه حُسْنهُ، فقال عمر: مِنْ أَيْنَ هَذَا؟ فقال: من عند هذه النصرانيةِ، فتوضأ ثم دخل عليها فقال أَسْلمِى؛ فكشفت عن رأسِها فإذا هو كأنه ثغَامَةٌ ( ) بيضَاءُ (فقالت: ) ( ) أَبَعْدَ هَذِهِ السِّنِّ؟ ! ".

Then he brought it to ‘Umar, who admired its fineness and said: From where is this? He said: From this Christian woman. So ‘Umar performed wudu, then entered upon her and said: Accept Islam. She uncovered her head, and it was white like thaghamah. She said: After this age?”
