Musnad Abi Ya'la 2831 — Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him)
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ عَنْ خِضَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَمْ يَكُنْ شَابَ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا ، وَلَكِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ خَضَبَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ .
قَالَ : وَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِأَبِيهِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : لَوْ أَقْرَرْتَ الشَّيْخَ فِي بَيْتِهِ لَأَتَيْنَاهُ لِكَرَامَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، قَالَ : فَأَسْلَمَ وَلِحْيَتُهُ وَرَأْسُهُ كَالثَّغَامَةِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : غَيِّرُوهَا ، وَجَنِّبُوهُ السَّوَادَ .

Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the dyeing (of the hair) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "Indeed, very little of the hair of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had turned white; but Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to dye with henna and katam." He also related that on the day of the Conquest of Makkah, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) brought his father, Sayyiduna Abu Quhafah (may Allah be pleased with him), to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), to honour Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), said: "If you had let the old man stay in his house, we would have gone to him ourselves." The narrator says: He accepted Islam while the hair of his head and beard was completely white like thaghamah (a plant whose flowers and fruit are white). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Change this (whiteness), and keep him away from black."
