Thulathiyyat (Musnad Ahmad) 145
Musnad of Abū Ḥamzah Anas ibn Mālik al-Anṣārī, the Servant of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ: هَلْ خَضَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَرَ مِنَ الشَّيْبِ إِلَّا نَحْوًا مِنْ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ أَوْ عِشْرِينَ شَعْرَةً فِي مُقَدَّمِ لِحْيَتِهِ». وَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَشِنْ بِالشَّيْبِ». فَقِيلَ لِأَنَسٍ: أَشَيْنٌ هُوَ؟ قَالَ: «كُلُّكُمْ يَكْرَهُهُ، وَلَكِنْ خَضَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ، وَخَضَبَ عُمَرُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ».
Translation
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Anas was asked whether the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ had dyed his hair. He said: “He had no more than around seventeen or twenty white hairs visible at the front of his beard.” He added: “Grey hair was no blemish upon him.” When Anas was asked, “But is it a blemish [in others]?” he replied: “All of you dislike it. As for [the Companions]: Abū Bakr used to dye with ḥennā and katam, while ʿUmar used to dye with ḥennā.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 145
