Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 8780

وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ : سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ عَنْ خِضَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَمْ يَكُنْ شَابَ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا ، وَلَكِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ بَعْدَهُ خَضَبَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ .
قَالَ : وَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - بِأَبِيهِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ يَحْمِلُهُ ، حَتَّى وُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَرِضْوَانُهُ : " لَوْ أَقْرَرْتَ الشَّيْخَ فِي بَيْتِهِ لَأَتَيْنَاهُ تَكْرِمَةً لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ " . فَأَسْلَمَ وَرَأْسُهُ وَلِحْيَتُهُ كَالثَّغَامَةِ بَيَاضًا . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " غَيِّرُوهُمَا ، وَجَنِّبُوهُ السَّوَادَ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَأَبُو يَعْلَى بِنَحْوِهِ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ بِاخْتِصَارٍ ، وَفِي الصَّحِيحِ طَرَفٌ مِنْهُ وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Muhammad bin Sirin narrates: Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the dyeing of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: Only a few of the hairs of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had turned white. After him, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to dye with henna and katam. The narrator says: On the day of the conquest of Makkah, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) carried his father, Sayyiduna Abu Quhafah (may Allah be pleased with him), and brought him, and seated him before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): "You should have let the elderly man stay in his house, and we would have gone to him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this to honour Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Quhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam, and the hair of his head and beard was white like thaghamah (a flower so named). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Change them, but avoid using black."
Ahmad recorded it; Abu Ya'la recorded something similar, and al-Bazzar recorded it in abridged form. Part of it is recorded in the Sahih. The narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
