اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، أَنَّ أَنَسًا سُئِلَ : " خَضَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ، قَالَ : لَمْ يَبْلُغْ شَيْبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا كَانَ يَخْضِبُ ، وَلَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أَعُدَّ شَمَطَاتٍ كُنَّ فِي لِحْيَتِهِ ، لَفَعَلْتُ ، وَلَكِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَانَ يَخْضِبُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ ، وَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَخْضِبُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ " .
Humaid says that a person asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to apply dye. He replied that old age did not become apparent on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); if I wanted to count the white hairs in the beard of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I could count them. However, Hazrat Abu Bakr (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 to dye his hair only with henna.
