Ata, the servant of Sayyiduna Saib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him), says: I saw the beard of Saib bin Yazid had turned white while his head had not turned white, so I said to him: O my master! What is the reason that your head has not turned white? He said: It will never turn white, because once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by while I was playing with the children, and he (peace be upon him) greeted the children with salam, and among the children, I replied to the salam. So he (peace be upon him) called me and said: "What is your name?" I said: Saib bin Yazid bin Ukht al-Nimr. So he (peace be upon him) placed his hand on my head and said: "May Allah bless you." So the place where the hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) touched my head never turns white.
