Musnad Abi Ya'la 1819 — when the Prophet ﷺ came to Makkah, Sayyiduna
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنِ الْأَجْلَحِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَكَّةَ أُتِيَ بِأَبِي قُحَافَةَ وَرَأْسُهُ وَلِحْيَتُهُ كَأَنَّهُمَا ثَغَامَةٌ ، فَقَالَ : غَيِّرُوا الشَّيْبَ ، وَاجْتَنِبُوا السَّوَادَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Makkah, Sayyiduna Abu Quhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and at that time the hair of his head and beard had become completely white like thaghamah (a plant with white flowers). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Change the colour of this white hair, and avoid black."
