This hadith is listed as number 6076 in Maktaba Shamila
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَكِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، قَالَ : " سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ خِضَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَقَالَ : لَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أَعُدَّ شَمَطَاتٍ كُنَّ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَعَلْتُ ، وَقَالَ : لَمْ يَخْتَضِبْ ، وَقَدِ اخْتَضَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالْحِنَّاءِ ، وَالْكَتَمِ ، وَاخْتَضَبَ عُمَرُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ بَحْتًا " .
Thabit reported that Anas bin Malik (RA) was asked about the dyeing (of the hair of) Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . Thereupon he said.: (They were so few) that if I so liked I could count their number in his head, and he further said: (That is) he did not dye. Abu Bakr, however, dyed them and so did 'Umar dye them with pure henna.
