Musnad of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 11965 — Musnad of Anas ibn Malik
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ , عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِحْيَتِهِ عِشْرُونَ شَعَرَةً بَيْضَاءَ ، وَخَضَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ ، وَخَضَبَ عُمَرُ بِالْحِنَّاء " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that there were not even twenty white hairs in the blessed beard of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Hazrat Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) used to dye his hair with henna and katam, while Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used only henna for dyeing.
