Majma al-Zawaid 8792 — Reports on grey hair and dyeing

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : لَمَّا فَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَكَّةَ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ، فَقَالَ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ أَبَا قُحَافَةَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ وَإِنَّهُ بِنَاحِيَةِ مَكَّةَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " قُمْ بِنَا إِلَيْهِ " . فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هُوَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكَ فَجِيءَ بِأَبِي قُحَافَةَ ، كَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ وَلِحْيَتَهُ ثَغَامَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " غَيِّرُوهُ وَجَنِّبُوهُ السَّوَادَ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ وَفِيهِ دَاوُدُ بْنُ فَرَاهِيجَ ، وَثَّقَهُ يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانُ وَغَيْرُهُ وَضَعَّفَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ وَفِيهِ مَنْ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُمْ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) conquered Makkah, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was standing at his head. He said: "O Messenger of Allah! May my father and mother be ransomed for you! Abu Quhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) is a very old man and he is on the outskirts of Makkah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take us to him." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! He is more entitled to come to you." Then Sayyiduna Abu Quhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought, 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 it, but avoid using black."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Dawud bin Farahij, whom Yahya al-Qattan and others declared trustworthy, and a group declared him weak. Its chain also contains narrators whom I do not know.
