Abu Ushshanah narrates that he saw Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) dyeing with black, and he would say: "We blacken the top of it (that is, the hair), but its roots refuse." The narrator says: He was a poet.
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Abu Ushshanah, who is thiqah (trustworthy).
