عَنْ عِلْبَاءِ بْنِ أَحْمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”ادْنُ مِنِّي“ قَالَ فَمَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى رَأْسِي وَلِحْيَتِي قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ”اللَّهُمَّ جَمِّلْهُ وَأَدِمْ جَمَالَهُ“ قَالَ فَلَقَدْ بَلَغَ بِضْعًا وَمِائَةَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا فِي رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ بَيَاضٌ إِلَّا نَبْذٌ يَسِيرٌ وَلَقَدْ كَانَ مُنْبَسِطَ الْوَجْهِ وَلَمْ يَنْقَبِضْ وَجْهُهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Zayd Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Come near to me. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his hand over his head and beard and made this supplication: O Allah! Make him beautiful and make his beauty everlasting. ‘Alba says: Sayyiduna Abu Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) lived to be one hundred and six or seven years old, but the hair of his head and beard had very little whiteness, his face was completely smooth, and until his death, no wrinkles appeared on it.

I brought a vessel of water to him, in which there was water and a hair. I removed the hair and presented the water to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed for me like this: O Allah! Make him beautiful. The narrator says: I saw Abu Zaid, may Allah be pleased with him, at the age of (93) years, and according to another narration, at the age of (94) years, that there was not a single white hair on his head or beard.
