حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ ، قَالَ : " أَرْسَلَنِي أَهْلِي إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَدَحٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ ، وَقَبَضَ إِسْرَائِيلُ ثَلَاثَ أَصَابِعَ مِنْ قُصَّةٍ فِيهِ شَعَرٌ مِنْ شَعَرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكَانَ إِذَا أَصَابَ الْإِنْسَانَ عَيْنٌ أَوْ شَيْءٌ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا مِخْضَبَهُ فَاطَّلَعْتُ فِي الْجُلْجُلِ فَرَأَيْتُ شَعَرَاتٍ حُمْرًا "
Narrated IsraiI: `Uthman bin `Abdullah bin Mauhab said, "My people sent me with a bowl of water to Um Salama." Isra'il approximated three fingers ('indicating the small size of the container in which there was some hair of the Prophet. `Uthman added, "If any person suffered from evil eye or some other disease, he would send a vessel (containing water) to Um Salama. I looked into the container (that held the hair of the Prophet) and saw a few red hairs in it,"

Hadith Commentary:
The translation of the chapter heading is derived from here: in old age, the hair first turns red and then becomes white.
From this hadith, it is also derived that if the blessed hair (mu'ay mubarak) is indeed authentic, then seeking blessings (tabarruk) from it is permissible. However, the belief should always remain that this blessing is also received only by the command of Allah; nothing happens without the command of Allah.
