حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِرْقٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى، ثنا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا ثَابِتُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ شَيْبَتَهُ، فَقِيلَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَلَا تُغَيِّرُ، وَقَدْ كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يُغَيِّرُ؟ قَالَ عُمَرُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مِنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ، وَمَا أَنَا بِمُغَيِّرٍ شَيْبَتِي
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) did not change (the colour of) his white hair. It was said to him: "O Commander of the Believers, why do you not dye it, when Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) used to dye his?" Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever has a hair turn white in Islam, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection.' And I will not change my white hair."
