حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: نَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ خَارِجَةَ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حِمْيَرَ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ:
رَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ يَخْضِبُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ، وَكَانَ عُمَرُ لَا يَخْضِبُ، وَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
